It also allows Rimoldi to bring three graduate students to the meeting at a reduced cost.
\nRimoldi said he is pleased to be able to attend the meeting.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI look forward to seeing how chemistry fits into an environmental framework,\u201d he said. \u201cMost of the national meetings I attend are centered in drug discovery and development or synthetic medicinal chemistry.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\nMatt Moore, research ecologist for the USDA-ARS National Sedimentation Laboratory in Oxford, was on the selection committee for the award. After speaking with Kristie Willett, UM associate professor of pharmacology and a fellow SETAC member, Moore decided to nominate Rimoldi.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe have been trying to get (Rimoldi) to go to this meeting for years,\u201d Willett said. \u201cHe is part of the environmental toxicology graduate program, and I think he will get a lot out of the meeting. He will see firsthand the emerging issues and methods in environmental chemistry \u2013 lessons that he will be able to pass on to the students in our graduate courses.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
\nThis is the first year that SETAC has offered this award, which was created to encourage more chemists to be involved with the organization as a whole.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cSETAC consists of environmental toxicology and chemistry,\u201d Moore said. \u201cThe problem is that over the last several years we haven\u2019t had much chemistry, so we decided to offer two travel assistance awards to chemists who have environmental toxicology interests but don\u2019t typically come to meetings.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\nRimoldi has selected doctoral students Robert Smith, Vanildo Braga and Sarah Chajkowski to attend the meeting with him.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI hope they gain a broader perspective on how their focused dissertation projects can impact or integrate into larger scientific themes in environmental toxicology,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n
\nAt the meeting, Rimoldi will be recognized along with Jon Chorover, a University of Arizona professor and the second recipient of the award.
