Toronto Geological Discussion Group’s Post

My co-chairs (Will Backe, Amanda Brennan, and Amber White) and I are super excited to invite abstract submissions by 15 May to our session on “Methods for Assessing Environmental Fate and Effects of Difficult-To-Test Substances” at the #SETAC meeting in Fort Worth, TX on October 20-24. Track and Session Description Below Track: 4 - Chemistry and Exposure Assessment Session Description: Difficult-to-test substances may be volatile, reactive/unstable, or poorly/sparingly water-soluble substances, UVCBs (unknown or variable composition, complex reaction products or biological materials), surfactants, polymers, substance with unknown metabolites, or particles. The challenges in the determination of the environmental fate and effects of difficult-to-test substances may manifest in different ways: maintaining constant nominal exposure concentrations for assays, overcoming bioavailability limitations, extracting and quantifying analytes in complex environmental and biological matrices (difficult-to-measure), identifying unknown constituents or metabolites, differentiating toxicity from parent versus degradation products, etc. In this session, presenters are invited to share advancements in methodologies for conducting toxicity and environmental fate studies, analytical techniques for detection and characterization, and/or a framework/approach for assessing the environmental fate and effects for any type of the difficult-to-test substances.

Jason Barber, CFP® - This is an incredible post and message. Congrats on finding TRUE independence and congrats to your son! 🚨Financial Advisors at Any Insurance or Product owned B/D or if you are in any type of Restrictive Firm/Situation. ➡️The hardest part of breaking free is making the decision to leap. Your current firm DOES NOT want you to find the promise land that Jason mentions in his message! ❓WHY? IT IS NOT in their best interest. They will scare you into thinking its impossible. They will try everything to roadblock you when they find out you are ready to leave. 😎When you make the leap, YOU benefit the most and your new firm becomes a partner, no longer your employer. YOU maximize your potential by having the firm work for YOU. BIG DIFFERENCE! ✅This is TRUE independence: 1️⃣ You own the book 100% - Call it what you want. 2️⃣ You really can do what is in the BEST INTEREST of YOUR clients. 3️⃣ You have the most choice of platform, product and approach. 4️⃣ You decide your path to partnership and future growth. 5️⃣ You monetize your business and maximize return. This means best payouts, lowest advisory bps, lower fees and high eventual valuation on the sale of YOUR book. ✅We are ready to assist in your new beginning! Now is the time. ☎️💬📩DM, Call, or Email: Scott M.

All must attend. The NACC and AGMT programs deliver incredible value to their members. Just talk to one...your difficulty will be getting them to stop talking about it. As a wise glazier once said, if we want to be taken seriously as an industry we need to take ourselves seriously. #architecturalglass #qualitycertification #skilledtrades
