AGHES Meetings & Events
Please join us for our seminars and networking socials! Generally during the "academic calendar" year we host an evening seminar by an accomplished scientist on current topics relevant to our government-related roles in toxicology and other life sciences. Seminars are preceded by a buffett dinner or happy hour to allow an informal gathering and networking opportunity. Seminars are announced here and via email and social media. If you would like to receive email notifications of upcoming AGHES events, sign up here.
