Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter January 2026
by Francisco Alejandro Uzal Dec. 31, 2025

Dec. 31, 2025

Dear colleagues I am proud to present you the January issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation newsletter, with the compliments of our wonderful managing editors, Jeann Leal and Javier Asin. Over the past few years these two great volunteer colleagues have been doing a fantastic job putting together the newsletter each and every month (without missing a single issue!) to make sure you get real-time information about the activities of the Foundation. Thank you Jeann and Javier!!! 2025 is coming to an end. This year was challenging in a number of ways for many of our colleagues, but we, at the Foundation, have risen to the occasion and continued uninterruptedly with our mission to provide training in veterinary and comparative pathology for free or at a very low cost for thousands of people around the world. The excellence of our work is unique and it will continue unremittingly for many years to come, no matter how many obstacles are put in front of us. 2026 comes already full of training opportunities. To highlight just a few, have a look at the new Veterinary Introductory Pathology (thank you Kelsey!!) and Fish Pathology (thank you Eileen!!) sessions, and our classic General Pathology course (thank you James!!); inscription is open for these and many more training opportunities!. And what better way to end my message than to thank from the bottom of my heart our outstanding volunteers, without whom nothing of what we do would be possible. Thank you everyone. Happy New Year.
