Honoring a Pioneer in Insect Toxicology: Celebrating Jeff Scott's Contributions to Insect Toxicology

Sunday, November 9, 2025
1:30 PM - 5:30 PM Pacific
Location: Oregon Convention Center, F150, OCC

Oral Presentation

Join us for a dynamic and insightful session on the global challenge of insecticide resistance. Experts will present cutting-edge research in molecular genetics, genomics, physiology, biochemistry and toxicology, offering insights into insecticide mechanisms of action and resistance. Gain valuable insights into both fundamental and applied aspects of insecticide toxicology.
