Although the global COVID-19 pandemic compelled the activity online, the breadth and also intensity of scientific research offered as well as compensated was actually outstanding.” Science Time is an extremely interactive occasion, and adjusting to an online appointment format has actually been actually a problem,” pointed out Hans Luecke, Ph.D., NIEHS associate clinical supervisor as well as office chair of the Scientific research Day organizing committee.The day’s activities featured 10 oral presentations through students that were actually chosen by Branch of Intramural Analysis and also Branch of the National Toxicology Plan (NTP) research laboratory as well as branch chiefs.
