A belated welcome to the progressive blogosphere (and our blogroll) to the Angry Toxicologist but still a very sincere one. The AT is appropriately angry about most of the same things that make us angry. TAT is a toxicologist. We do environmental epidemiology -- in the words of epidemiologist Richard Clapp, that's toxicology where you let the animals out of their cages.
