JPC VSPO/WSC guest access re-established
by Bruce Williams May 14, 2025

May 14, 2025

The guest access for the JPC VSPO/WSC server has been established. Clicking on a wholeslide will once again bring up the front page of the Aperio image server, and if you click on the Guest login button, you don't need a password. That being said, the chronic issue of the server freezing up has still not yet been identified. This summer, the JPC will be rebuilding the server (the current server will stay up during this period) to see if a total rebuild will correct the issues that have been plaguing the server since the "Big Crash of '24". The server currently is set to autoreboot daily at 0600, 1400, and 2000 hrs. daily. Utilization of the server during these times offers the greatest chance of the wholeslides working as prescribed. Another utilization note - if you click on a whole slide and get anything other than a "Bad Gateway" message, the server is actually working and try clicking on the whole slide you want to view - sometimes it takes two or three actual clicks before it pops in. b P.S - if you haven't visited Noah's Slidebox lately - we are over 3750 slides and counting and it is an excellent adjunct to VSPO/WSC. -- Bruce Williams Chief Financial Officer Davis-Thompson Foundation 301 467-4024 bruce.williams(a)davisthompsonfoundation.org www.davisthompsonfoundation.org

CLIIC registration deadline is MAY 26...don't miss out!
by Jey Koehler May 8, 2025

May 8, 2025

Hola friends, just a reminder that the registration deadline for the Current Literature and Image Interpretation Course (CLIIC) in will be MAY 26. Absolutely NO exceptions will be made to this deadline, even if you cry real tears, send nasty emails, or attempt to bribe us with incredible lesions floating in jars of formalin. This fantastic course gets rave reviews every year, and for good reason. It's the perfect system-by system review of those "photogenic" lesions as well as interpretation of lesions in the context of the current literature (are you sure you're caught up?). If you are sitting phase II this year or next, this course can be a great study tool! If you are a practicing pathologist and need 28 hours of high quality CE and a trip to beautiful Knoxville and the Great Smoky Mountains, also good! Go here to find out more and register: https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/event/2025-current-literature-and-image… [cid:image001.png@01DBBFF4.F13B1C70] Jey Koehler, DVM, PhD, Dipl.
