SOT Website: How to Find Official Society of Toxicology Resources and Meetings

Updated

The official Society of Toxicology (SOT) website is toxicology.org. Use it when you need to reach SOT member benefits, toxicology resources, SOT blogs, headlines and notices, or upcoming meetings and SOT-hosted events. The site identifies SOT as a society of 8,000 individuals working in toxicology worldwide and states that it provides resources and hosts meetings to advance the science. If you are looking for a different organization that also uses the acronym "SOT," check the hostname first: toxicology.org is the SOT site, while other SOT acronyms point elsewhere.

Confirm you are on the official SOT site

Start with the domain rather than a search result title.

  • Official hostname: toxicology.org
  • Site name shown: Society of Toxicology (SOT)
  • Homepage heading: "Welcome to the Society of Toxicology website"

A quick check: the homepage should present SOT as a toxicology society with 8,000 members worldwide and describe resources and meetings. If a page uses "SOT" for a different field, it is not this site.

Main sections to use

The homepage surfaces several entry points. Use them according to what you need:

What you need Where to look on the site
Society news and time-sensitive notices Headlines and Important Notices
Events and dates Upcoming Meetings; SOT-Hosted Events
Member-only or member-focused content Member Benefits and Resources
Informal updates and commentary SOT Blogs
General toxicology information Toxicology resources linked from the site

The homepage also highlights time-bound items, such as "Celebrate, Empower, Appreciate National Postdoc Appreciation Week, September 21–25," with a "Learn More" link. Treat these as dated notices: confirm the current year before acting on them.

Find meetings and hosted events

  1. Go to toxicology.org.
  2. Open the Upcoming Meetings section from the homepage.
  3. Check SOT-Hosted Events, where the site notes that dates and times vary.
  4. Follow the event link for the specific meeting you want, then verify the date, time, and location on that page rather than relying on the homepage summary.

Because SOT-hosted event dates and times vary, always confirm details on the individual event page before making travel or registration plans.

Access member benefits and resources

The Member Benefits and Resources section is the starting point for member-facing content. The site does not state that all resources are open without an account, so expect some content to require member access or sign-in. If a link does not open, try navigating from the homepage section instead of a saved bookmark, since section paths can change.

Troubleshoot common navigation problems

  • You cannot find a page: Return to the homepage and use the section names above (Headlines and Important Notices, Upcoming Meetings, SOT Blogs, Member Benefits and Resources) as your map.
  • A login or access prompt appears: The page likely requires member credentials. The site does not document open access to every resource, so do not assume content is free or login-free.
  • You landed on the wrong "SOT": Check the hostname. Only toxicology.org is the Society of Toxicology site.
  • An event date looks outdated: Homepage notices and event listings can be time-bound. Confirm the current date and details on the linked event page.
  • A "Learn More" link leads somewhere unexpected: Read the surrounding heading first; homepage promos point to specific notices or programs, not general site sections.

What the site is for

Use toxicology.org to reach SOT as a society: its member benefits and resources, toxicology resources, blogs, notices, and meetings. It is a navigational starting point for the Society of Toxicology, not a general search engine for all toxicology content. For anything time-sensitive, verify the current details on the specific page you land on.
