Call for Abstracts
As part of this year’s workshop, we are allowing time during the roundtable discussion for three or four short (10-minute) presentations about ongoing or planned epidemiologic projects that involve analyses of environmental mixtures. After briefly summarizing the project and potential issues, the presenter can ask the speaker panel for suggestions about methods of analyses, possible challenges, and other issues.
