I will soon be applying to Ph.D. programs in toxicology soon. I'm currently at a crossroads in terms of what branch of toxicology I would truly like to explore. Throughout my undergraduate studies, I have done research within the field of environmental toxicology, which I have enjoyed and have a genuine interest in. I joined this field with the intention of pursuing a Ph.D. in Aquatic toxicology, but after talking to faculty and looking online, funding is sparse, and I would be better off sticking to environmental research. The other field I've looked at is the clinical toxicology field, but ..read more

Statement of Purpose for graduate programs Hello to anyone reading this! I am an organic chemist looking to leverage my experience in preclinical research to transition into a career in toxicology in the drug development area. I’m currently applying to masters programs in Toxicology and in my statement of purpose I’m trying to describe my specific interest in the field but I’m having a hard time finding the correct information. So hopefully some of you out there can help me! I have two interests. One is in risk assessment particularly in new drug development and its intersection with making r ..read more

Burning (and probably stupid) question- if a toxicology report is completed 3 days after death, are results significantly lower than they would be if it was completed immediately? Results for a family members report below- the numbers don’t seem that high but I don’t know much about the subject. And yes, I know I should call the coroner’s office for accurate answers but this is easier for now :-) DOD- 10/28 Specimen collected- 10/31 Morphine --------------------------------- 0.15 mg/L Oxycodone -------------------------------- 0.37 mg/L Oxymorphone ------------------------------ 0.078 mg/L s ..read more

Hello I’m currently looking to switch from my biology bachelor program to a pharmacology and toxicology bachelor program that is online. During that time I have a Lab aide job set up to gain experience and years while also going to school. I was wondering what type of job opportunities I would be looking at after just achieving the bachelors in pharmacology and toxicology. As well as afterwards getting it is it necessary or should I go to a program afterward for furthering either pharmacology or toxicology. Or is it possible to even obtain some certifications and go further as well afterwards ..read more

Right now I know what university I want to go to, I'm going to do a bachelor of science there, but I'm struggling to figure out what career specifically I want to do. Forensic science is something I really love the idea of, but that's a very broad thing. What sort of careers in toxicology are there, and what do they actually entail- beyond the romanticised TV versions of them? Something I've always loved learning about in books and stuff is like poisons, venoms, etc. Like spiders that cause hallucinations, jellyfish whose stings make you want to kill yourself, etc. I like in Australia so ther ..read more

Hi All, So I am a concerned consumer and I am curious with the recent bans and discussion around PFSA's, I have also heard that there are many chemicals in consumer products that simply are not researched yet at all. I am not some one who dislikes "chemicals" (p.s. you and I are chemicals) or who thinks ganja-lemon-juice enemas and de-alkalized water can cure cancer. But I am curious how thoroughly products are researched before they are allowed to go on the market. To what extent does some media play on these we fears and are agencies like the FDA and EPA given enough leeway and funding to r ..read more

Hello, Background is that I suffer from anxiety/OCD, but am taking medication and seeing a counselor to train my mind and emotions to see things more rationally. I don't want reassurance, but information to help me get a healthy perspective. I think that a lot of my anxiety with chemicals is because of that fact that I just don't have a clue in combination with catastrophizing. So. Perspective. I was working cleaning out a garage (NE USA) with two other guys around 4 years ago. During that day of work (around 6 hours), one of the guys dropped a small bag (like a 4 lb sugar bag size, half full ..read more
