Davis-Thompson Foundation April newsletter
by Francisco Alejandro Uzal April 1, 2025

April 1, 2025

Dear colleagues Welcome to the April issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter and thank you, as always, to our brilliant managing editors, Javier Asin and Jeann Leal. Outstanding training opportunities at low or no cost! Have a look at the following pages and/or on the Foundation's website to see what is available for you. And speaking of "outstanding training opportunities", see the wonderful article that Rafaela De Negri, a member of the Foundation's Board of Directors, wrote summarizing the activities of the Foundation in 2024, including 56 educational events with participants from 74 countries. Our heartfelt thanks to Rafa and to all our volunteers that make this possible day in and day out! Finally, if you are a member of the Latin Comparative Pathology Group (LCPG) or you want to become one, remember that the deadline for membership dues is March 31st. Although this date will probably be past by the time you read this, keep in mind that you can register any time of the year. The very modest LCPG membership dues help support critical training activities in Latin America. Looking forward to seeing you in one of our training activities.
