Description

Join in the fun with the 3rd iteration of the popular (standing room only in 2024) and only (thank goodness) hepatotoxicity-themed game show at The Liver Meeting. The style and format of this workshop is loosely based on the NPR game show, "Wait wait...Don't Tell Me!". The Hepatotoxicity Special Interest Group has assembled a panel of experts to address cutting-edge topics in DILI and mechanisms of hepatotoxicity. Speakers present in a "speed data" format, with the majority of time left for discussion and engagement with panelists and the audience. Speakers are introduced by ridiculous limericks anchored in the topic of the presentation rather than extensive CVs. The session features audience participation in a competition to win a unique AASLD Wait Wait...Don't DILI! mug.
