In June I will be traveling to La Havana, Cuba, to teach a course in General Toxicology and Food Safety with Dr. A. Wallace Hayes PhD, and Dr. Azita Cuevas PhD, MPH. The Toxicology group of the Cuban Society of Laboratory Animal Science (SCCAL) is hosting the course. The SCCAL's core objective is to disseminate in Cuba the current trends in toxicological hazard and risk evaluation within the context of animal protection and 3Rs philosophy. We are looking to forward to meeting scientists from the region and visiting Cuba!
