Dear colleagues Welcome to the June issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter, prepared by our fantastic Managing Editors Jeann Leal and Javier Asin. As usual, this issue comes full of information on our training activities around the world, including an increasing number of face to face seminars and workshops, which are slowly coming back to life after more than two years of almost exclusively virtual teaching. While we will continue offering some virtual training in the future (e.g. our “4 big courses” are fully virtual this year), we hope to keep increasing the number of in person courses as the COVID pandemic allows. Finally, please remember that: Today is the last day to register for the Descriptive Pathology Course (see details in the newsletter and in our website) Looking forward to seeing you in one or more of our training activities soon.
