Dear all Please see below on behalf of Dr Kate Watson. Thanks Paco Wow! We had some spooktastic submissions for the October issue; it was quite challenging to pick just one. There were technical issues in getting a call out for the November DTF issue, but the window is now open! Dr. Donald McGavin and I review every submission and discuss each one in detail. For future submissions, we will also be providing feedback on each image so that the submitter can continue to improve their photographic skills. What a unique chance to learn directly from Dr. McGavin who is the author of Specimen Dissection and Photography: For the Pathologist, Anatomist and Biologist, as well as Pathologic Basis of Veterinary Disease. Submission information (detailed information in attached document): * Submission deadline: Friday October 15th, 2021 * Send your image and image description files by e-mail to: o Dr. Katherine Watson: images(a)davisthompsonfoundation.org<mailto:images@davisthompsonfoundation.org> Cheers, Kate Watson, DVM PhD DACVP California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory Assistant Professor of Anatomic Pathology "Mortui vivos docent" Publication List<http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=cGQfYQoAAAAJ&hl=en> "I know quite certainly that I myself have no special talent.

Have you ever wished you knew what was going on in that one not-quite-right H&E slide and how to fix it? How many ways can IHC go wrong? Should you even be using IHC or something else? Do you want to take gross images that make everyone go "Woweeeeeeee!" and help you win the Foundation's monthly image contest? What's the best way to prepare images for JVDI and Veterinary Pathology, as well as other journals? Join us Tuesday, October 12 from 9:00am to 4:00pm US CDT for this fantastic virtual day seminar where you will get answers to all of these technical questions and more. Nicole Leon, histotechnologist extraordinaire, will walk you through artifacts on H&E slides and how to fix them, Patty Pesavento will coach you on IHC, ISH, and other advanced diagnostic modalities, David Garnick will show you some real pro tips (from a real professional photographer!) on getting stunning gross shots, and Drs. Paco Uzal and Debbie Gillette will tell you how to make those journal image editors happy. This seminar is going to be one you won't want to miss!! Registration is $50, and this virtual full day seminar will be approved for 6 hours of RACE non-medical credits, as well as 4 ACVP MOC credits. As usual, registrants will get access to the recorded seminar for 14 days in case you can't watch it in real time.
