by Bruce Williams June 8, 2024

June 8, 2024

From our good friends Hohn and Margaret Cooper - if you have worked in the fields of wildlife medicine and pathology, or forensic pathology, you have likely heard of Prof. Cooper and his lovely wife, the barrister Magaret Cooper (an absolute must in forensic path) - *Forthcoming book about human-animal conflict* We have a contract with Taylor & Francis/CRC Press to write a textbook entitled "*When humans and animals clash: The science* * and law of human-animal conflict*". The primary authors are John Cooper (wildlife veterinary pathologist) and Charles Foster (veterinary surgeon, barrister and acclaimed author), supported by Margaret Cooper and Mary McCullins: a combination of legal, medical and veterinary expertise. The book will bring together published and unpublished data on injuries and other insults caused by different species of animal to humans (including zoonoses), to property (including livestock) and to economic interests. We should like to hear from colleagues who are working in the field of human-animal conflict and to solicit relevant input and comments, all of which will be fully acknowledged when the book appears in 2025/26.

Davis-Thompson Newsletter: June issue
by Francisco Alejandro Uzal June 1, 2024

June 1, 2024

Dear colleagues Welcome to the June issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation newsletter, with the compliments, as usual, of our outstanding managing editors Javier Asin and Jeann Leal. Please peruse these pages to find information about the many training opportunities around the world, in several languages. While CLIIC is starting next week, keep in mind that POLA is coming soon and registration is still open. We keep working hard in the design of our Foundations of Pathology course. These are the words of President Koehler about it: "We are continuing to work on our newest course, Foundations of Pathology. This course, which we highly recommend for first-year residents, will be similar to the previous Descriptive Veterinary Pathology course but will be aimed at those just beginning their journey. We want to get you off to a great start by sharing with you our accumulated knowledge about how to evaluate, interpret, and describe gross, microscopic, and ultrastructural lesions, plus how to properly interpret IHC, ISH, and molecular testing. We will have discussions about how to structure study during your residency, available resources, and help keep you from making mistakes we have seen people make. We believe this course will create a strong foundation on which you can build, in whatever residency program you are in. The course will include a virtual component and an in-person component at the annual ACVP meeting. A detailed course schedule and registration link will be coming in the next few weeks so check the website frequently!" Also new this year is the "Just in Time Mock Exams", two full days of mock exams dedicated to aspiring veterinary anatomic pathologists, presented by a great team of experienced pathologists. Finally, if you are doing necropsies of racehorses, consider attending the 3-day Racehorse Necropsy Workshop, a hands-on course, this year co-sponsored by the Horse Integrity and Safety Authority, the organization that is regulating horse racing in the US. Looking forward to seeing you in one of our training activities. Warm regards Francisco Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl.

VSPO/WSC wholeslides are back online!
by Bruce Williams May 22, 2024

May 22, 2024

From the Joint Pathology Center - We are happy to announce that the wholeslide server for VSPO/WSC is provisionally back up! Following the server crash, we have reconstituted the wholeslide data and reinstalled the Leica ESlide manager application, and made the appropriate links again - so the VSPO/WSC wholeslides are viewable again. That being said, this install of the server appears to be pretty glitchy. We are constantly monitoring it, but now have the ability to remotely restart servers when this application freezes...so that is something that may help prevent significant downtime in the future. Don't forget to enter "guest" as the username when you want to look at a wholeslide, and if it doesn't load properly, then just keep clicking until it does... -- Bruce Williams Chief Financial Officer Davis-Thompson Foundation 301 467-4024 bruce.williams(a)davisthompsonfoundation.org www.davisthompsonfoundation.org
