Keep an eye out for this week's SETAC Globe.  It will feature an article previewing the special symposium on 21st Century Risk Assessment to be held on Tuesday in room 203A/B at the North American annual meeting in Long Beach.  This is a chance to get in on the ground floor of ERAAG’s new solution-focused risk assessment work group. We are hoping that you will decide to join the new work group.  We are trying to promote practices to ensure that environmental risk assessments produce practical solutions to ecological and human health risk management problems. We had a strong response to the call for abstracts and we are looking forward to an interesting and productive special symposium. Find out more in the new Globe, which should arrive in your e-mail inbox on Thursday, 11 October.
