State of the Science

SCCAHS hosts annual State of the Science (SOS) meetings for the Center. SOS meetings are a vital component to the Center’s approach to research-to-practice and serves as a platform to seek science that answers relevant questions related to agricultural health and safety. The SOS meeting is also an opportunity for scientists from various disciplines to network and build valuable collaborations that will address future needs in agricultural health and safety.
