• Toxenlaces is the newsletter that informs Hispanic toxicologists in the United States and

the international Spanish and Portuguese-speaking scientific communities about important

toxicological events and issues occurring in our countries. It is electronically published and

distributed to our membership and Sister Organizations in Ibero-America. Toxenlaces

disseminates critical dates for events, health perspectives, and funding and training

opportunities. It serves as a toxicology forum for our members and other partner organizations,

engages in educational outreach to the Hispanic communities and provides the essential

elements to support networking among Hispanic toxicologists. Toxenlaces is open to receive

collaborations from HOT and SOT members, and Sister Organizations. You can collaborate with

short scientific articles, news or notes related with toxicology. Other ways to collaborate is by

nominating your peers or yourself for the sections Trainee Section and When I Grow Up. For

more information about collaborating with Toxenlaces send an email to Jose Delgado

(Toxenlaces Editor) at [email protected] with copy to Alejandro Ramírez-Lee

HOT wants you to be part of the organization! To make it available to everyone, HOT accepts

applications from non-SOT members to become HOT members. Yes, that is right!! You only

have to have the desire to collaborate with and be part of our great organization.

Your HOT membership provides you with valuable resources throughout your scientific career as

for networking through the largest Hispanic toxicologist community, giving you opportunity for

Travel Awards or serving as a mentor to the young Hispanic toxicologists; besides you receive

the Toxenlaces newsletter every two months.

Application and more information can be found at Non-SOT Member Application.

So, what are you waiting for? We are looking forward to receiving your application today!!
