Dr. George Migaki, 1917-2021
by Bruce Williams Sept. 11, 2021

Sept. 11, 2021

It is with great regret that I announce the passing of Dr. George Migaki, formerly of the Registry of Veterinary Pathology at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology. George was a pioneer in the comparative pathology of zoo and wildlife animals (and one of the first veterinary pathologists to take an interest in the pathology of marine mammals) as well as laboratory animals. He was the author of innumerable papers of animal models in conjunction with the Journal of Comparative Pathology and many other journals. A cursory search of "Migaki G veterinary" in either Pubmed or Google will quickly document his massive contributions to our field. I met George as a first-day resident and we struck up an fast friendship based on our combined intense curiosity for all things pathological.Every day, for the first two weeks of my residency, George would invite me into his office to show my a slide and ask me for my diagnosis. I would give my best shot (which wasn't much) and he would clap and exclaim with glee, "It's just autolysis!" I fell for that every day for two weeks until I myself one day said "Autolysis?" Then the real teaching began, and he was an amazing instructor, mentor, and colleague. George was a veteran of WWII - an American soldier of Japanese descent (which requires no more explanation) - and we would talk every year on Veteran's Day. He was incredibly kind, a true gentleman, and one of the unsung heroes (which was fine with him) of our field. Godspeed my friend.... More information on his truly wonderful life is available at: https://www.azcentral.com/obituaries/par051335 -- Bruce Williams Chief Financial Officer Davis-Thompson Foundation 301 467-4024 bruce.williams(a)davisthompsonfoundation.org www.davisthompsonfoundation.org

July 20, 2021

Dear Davis-Thompson Foundation members and supporters: As most or all of you know, the Foundation realizes its mission with a team of dedicated and talented volunteers who help us do what we do while also balancing an already-busy life filled with demanding career, family, and outside interests. Volunteers are the lifeblood of the organization, but every once in a while a job comes along that is so big, complex, time-consuming, and outside our skill set that we need to bring in professionals. Today we are announcing the launch of our completely redesigned website, which was brought to life by the talented dream team of punk rock marketers at Malcontent Marketing (www.malcontent.agency<http://www.malcontent.agency>) along with significant efforts from our executive board, our marketing and webinar committee chairs, and our IT director. The new website will serve as our central organizing point for upcoming events and registration, news and information, image banks, diagnostic exercises, membership, and more. Love your social media? Don't worry, we will still have a presence there! Love the pdf newsletter? Don't worry, we'll still be making one! So go to www.davisthompsonfoundation.org<http://www.davisthompsonfoundation.org> and give it a test drive! Check out the events calendar, read about our leadership, and see what's happening. Be patient in these first few weeks as we work out any bugs in functionality and get more and more content added. This website has been a personal dream of mine for a decade now, and I'm so happy to have been a part of making it happen thanks to the strong support of Bruce and Paco, and the talents of the designers. Let us know what you think! Don't forget to check out our bookstore, where in addition to books you can get newly designed t-shirts and mugs https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/product-category/foundation-promotional… Welcome to our new "home"!

If you are training for certification in the specialties of lab animal medicine or pathology, or working in the field - this course is a must. This year's course continues our trend of bringing in new speakers (this year in the area of rodent species) and bringing back many of our well-loved speakers from last year, in order to keep it both fresh and authoritative. Course Director Rob Kim keeps the information flowing for its five-day run, and along the way, attendees of the live version will participate in not one, but two mock exams along the way!. CLASS is now in its 20th year, and fifth with Dr. Sarah Bro, is considered an absolute necessity for those studying for certification in lab animal medicine, covering the important guidelines, protocols and resources for lab animal docs, as well as study tips to help you pass your exam. It's only two days, but two very important days! Registration for the live version gives you access to rebroadcast lectures which begin the week following the course. Tuition for the live version of CLASS and POLA is $350 for non-members (and you get a one-year Foundation membership) and $300 for members. Tuition for POLA only is $300 for non-members (and you get a one year membership blah blah blah as well) and $250 for members Tuition for CLASS only is $100 for non-members (and you get blah blah blah blah) and only $75 for members. Registration for the rebroadcast version of BOTH courses (and that is the only way we are doing it) is $100 for everyone, member or not. Does anyone think I get tired of typing out these announcements? But even if you can only attend the rebroadcast videos (which run for three weeks after the course), it is an AMAZING value and we have been getting rave review for longer than I have been alive (and that's saying something).

Endocrine Pathology: Best Practices and Clinical Correllates - SEATS STILL AVAILABLE!
by Bruce Williams July 5, 2021

July 5, 2021

WHAT?!!! Having a day seminar the day after a long weekend, when we are all swamped? WHAT ARE WE THINKING?!!! Well, here is what we are thinking about - A) People outside the US (we know you are out there, and we are always thinking of you) - you didn't have a holiday weekend, so you have no excuse to miss this! People in the US - by signing up for this course today or anytime tomorrow before it is over - you get 2 weeks of access to the rebroadcast version so you can watch it anytime you want (like when its time to clean the gutters, or go see your in-laws). So everybody WINS (even if you are busy tomorrow!) And you absolutely won't find better speakers on endocrine pathology - Don Meuten and Tom Rosol have been lecturing and teaching endocrine pathology since I was coming up as a resident - and they will be shoveling facts and observations as fast as they can in eight hours - gross, histology, cytology, all correlated with the all-important endocrine testing (and yes, even those have changed radically). Endocrine pathology is something EVERYONE should review for a day every few years - it is a dynamic field and these two speakers keep up! $50US gets you 8 hours of RACE credits, 4 MOC credits from the ACVP. Tomorrow we start at 0800 CDT (that's Chicago time folks)!

Voices in Pathology: Asian-Americans - Friday, 28 May 2021
by Bruce Williams April 23, 2021

April 23, 2021

Our free Friday Seminar on the 28th of May is the third in our seminars to highlight the diverse experiences of inspiring minority pathologists - this time focusing on our Asian American colleagues. I can't imagine our field without the amazing and continuing contributions of our Asian American (or simply Asian) colleagues - and their stories are just as amazing. Please take two hours and participate in this seminar - it's a great opportunity to really listen, to learn, and just maybe we can all examine our own conscious and unconscious biases as we relate to those around us. All attendees will receive 2 hours of free RACE credits and a certificate of attendance.

Digital Pathology II - Tuesday April 20 - NO REBROADCAST!
by Bruce Williams April 16, 2021

April 16, 2021

Well, isn't this a pickle? The people who need this the most are likely the ones who likely can't put a reminder for it in their calendar! :D Nonetheless, last year, the first Digital Pathology Day-seminar was a (not very much) surprise hit, so we have brought the speakers back for a second go-round. Unfortunately, as we dig a bit deeper into some of the pharma and "pending publication" topics, we have to forego rebroadcasting on this one, so DON'T MISS OUT! Now here are the not-so-witty learning objectives ( I don't write 'em, I just cut-and-paste 'em): During this seminar, participants will learn: - The key principles in building a nonclinical quality system for Deep Learning AI - An example quality control workflow for Deep Learning AI - An example qualification methodology for Deep Learning AI - Gain understanding of the deep learning methods used in pathology - Learn about the different performance metrics used to evaluate deep learning tissue image analysis solutions Register now! (NO rebroadcast - so don't ping me later asking to see the super-secret recording that we didn't even make...) Register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ldZfhmRqQIeDtHW46xVhQQ?fbclid=I… [image: digitalpathologyIIapproved.jpg]

The Foundation has a new symbol (and an animation, too!)
by Bruce Williams April 8, 2021

April 8, 2021

As the Foundation has entered the digital age, we have entered with the bold new logo as well! The Foundation’s symbol was created by Samuel Wesley Thompson (in the mid 1970s). The original design was actually a cloth path - maroon in colr, this embroidered patch came with the V device, the snake, the shield, and the bay leaves. The maroon color, the snake and the V were inspired by the emblem of the U.S. Army Veterinary Corps, where Dr. Charlie Louis Davis and Dr. Samuel Wesley Thompson met and spent their careers at. The bay leaves are traditional emblems of healing and the shield represents protection of animal and human health. In the 1990s, a heraldic artist was commissioned to adapt the path to make a crest for the Foundation. The crest went through a few stages of evolution, over the years. First, it received a ribbon on top with the name of the Foundation at that time, the “C.L. Davis DVM Foundation” and a ribbon at the bottom with the Foundation's mission “Advancement of Veterinary Pathology”. In 2015 after the passing of Dr. Thompson and the subsequent change to the Foundation’s name, the top ribbon was changed to “Davis-Thompson DVM Foundation”. But as we advance into the digital age, it is about time for a revamping of our beloved emblem. We hope you like it, and recognize it to be the symbol of excellence wherever you find it. There is also an animated version (I have attached in .MP4 form) which you will now see at the beginning of all of our digital products. Turn on your volume to view it (it's great!).

Exciting news from the Davis-Thompson Foundation
by Bruce Williams March 31, 2021

March 31, 2021

Mind if a take a moment to share some exciting news that we are all very proud of here in the Foundation? A decade ago, the Latin Comparative Pathology Group, in partnership with the Foundation, began publishing its Diagnostic Exercises. First monthly, now twice monthly, young pathologists around the globe have published their cases online ( http://www.cldavis.org/diag_exercise.html ). Over the years, our DE committee and its senior editors, Vini Carreira and Claudio Barros have put in hours and hours of effort to maximize the educational potential of these outstanding case reports. This month, we begin a partnership with the Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Pathology, and I will let them explain (by way of an editorial in this month's issue - - https://bjvp.org.br/bjvp-archive/2021/03/vol-14-n-1-march-2021/. "*Diagnostic exercises of the Latin Comparative Pathology Group (Latin American Division of the Davis-Thompson Foundation) being published in the Brazilian Journal of Comparative Pathology* *It is a great honor for the Latin Comparative Pathology Group (LCPG; the Latin American subdivision of the Davis-Thompson Foundation), to begin publishing our already famous diagnostic exercises in the Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Pathology (BJVP).* *The diagnostic exercises of the LCPG were created more than 10 years ago, with the objective of sharing interesting pathology cases with the scientific community and to provide educational material for trainees. These cases generated great enthusiasm amongst students and veterinarians around the world, and over the years, more than 160 exercises have been distributed regularly by e-mail and published on line in the Davis Thompson Foundation and the American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians web pages. * *Now, in a joint effort between the LCPG and the BJVP, three selected diagnostic exercises submitted to the LCPG will be published in each issue of the journal. We hope that this way, our diagnostic exercises will reach a broader readership throughout the globe. * *We hope that you enjoy our diagnostic exercises whether you read them on the web or in the BJVP.* *These exercises may be contributed by members and non-members of the LCPG from any country of residence. Please consider putting your interesting case in the form of a diagnostic exercise and submit it to the LCPG. It does not have to be something unusual and all sub-specialties of pathology are welcome! Contact the Editor in Chief, Dr Claudio Barros (e-mail…..), for instructions on how to prepare and share your diagnostic exercise. * *Paola A. Barato, President Latin Comparative Pathology Group. * *Francisco R. Carvallo, President-elect Latin Comparative Pathology Group. * *Claudio S. Barros, Editor-in-chief, Latin Comparative Pathology Group diagnostic exercises. * *Francisco A Uzal, Chief Executive Officer, Davis-Thompson Foundation"* So look for the Diagnostic Exercises in every edition of the Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Pathology - and please consider submitting your own case reports as Diagnostic Exercises!

Actually, you could probably talk to all of them I suppose, but some might not talk back because they aren't feeling well, or maybe just because they can't talk. However, our speakers can talk. Boy, can they talk. Please feel free to share this event [image: dayseminarexoticbirds-submitted.jpg] with your colleagues! *Register here:* https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_7Bf0CAqPRDSRbBvlcAYsPw?fbclid=I… *Schedule:* *7AM-11:30AM (Pacific Standard Time - Los Angeles).

Gross Path Review Course
by Bruce Williams Feb. 17, 2021

Feb. 17, 2021

Hot on the heels of our wildly successful Gen Path Review Course, comes the second installment - the Gross Path Review Course from 17-21 May. FIVE WHOLE DAYS of nothing but gross pathology.... As this course begins its evolution over the next few years, the pathology faculty of The Ohio State University (and a few visitors), will begin the transition from species-based instruction (the modus operandi of this course for over 40 years), to an all systems-based approach. This year, domestic species get a systems-based review and the non-traditional (laboratory and zoo/wildlife/exotic) will be reviewed on a species-based approach. As we did with Gen Path - all of the didactic lectures will be recorded and available for a period of 3 weeks afterwards, (for a reduced price), but only attendees to the live version can participate in realtime discussions, grill the instructors with their questions, and participate in the mock exam and grading discussion at the end of the course. And of course, participants in the live event have access to rebroadcast materials as well. Additional flyers with speakers and schedules are forthcoming, but let's give this one with course director Krista LaPerle over a field of gastric bots (now I'm all itchy) one more run....the attached PDF has all the info you will need for now and enough to guarantee you a seat....

Dear all Welcome to the February issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation newsletter, with the compliments of our great managing editors: Stephanie Shrader and Javier Asin. In this issue of the newsletter, you will find a heartfelt welcome to our incoming President, Dr Jey Koehler. Jey will take over her role as president officially on March 2001, but she is, and has been for a while, already hard at work helping with countless activities in the Foundation. While COVID vaccination is starting everywhere, and we hope that we can go back to offering at least some of our teaching activities on a face-to-face mode, we are still planning and offering our regular virtual activities. In this issue, you will also find the Foundation's new calendar for the first semester of 2021 (and a bit more). As always, our courses and seminars are reaching thousands of colleagues around the world, and they come at no cost or low cost and with great CE credits. Our General Pathology Review Course is been given this week to an unusually large audience by an outstanding group of organizers and faculty. If you missed it this week, you can always watch, for a reduced fee, the rebroadcasted version for several weeks to come. Looking forward to seeing you at one or more of our upcoming seminars.

The next 3 weeks will have three very different and very popular all day (or two-day) seminars all with RACE-accredited CE. On 26 January, we have a fantastic wide-ranging seminar on Toxicologic Pathology which will cover everything from basic principles of toxicology, environmental toxicologic pathology, techniques beeyond morphology used in pharma, and an introduction to the food safety and drug development process. There is something here for everyone thinking about, starting in, or with years of experience in toxicologic pathology. Register at: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_h6NYMva1TvCQH7WM6MCMyQ Cost: $50 USD 8 Hours RACE-Accredited CE On Feb 1-6, we have our annual General Pathology Review Course . Attendees will have TWO options for 2021 - attend the live broadcasts, interact with the instructors, and participate in the panel discussions, or view lecture rebroadcasts for a limited period following the course. Both options come with course materials and RACE credits. Interactive participation in the live broadcast is strongly recommended for those taking the ACVP phase 1 certification examination, and seating is limited to 100 to ensure a beneficial experience, while the rebroadcasted lectures will be sufficient for those who are looking for general knowledge, a refresher, or for whom the time zone (Pacific Standard Time) poes an insurmountable problem.

Update on the Joint Pathology Center's VSPO and WSC virtual slides
by Bruce Williams Jan. 2, 2021

Jan. 2, 2021

Information from the Joint Pathology Center: The JPC IT department is working on replacing the old Flash-containing Aperio Imagescope with an upgraded product which is not based on Flash (Leica's Eslide). At this juncture, not all slides are back online, and it may be a long slog as each case at this point has to be updated manually in the database. We have identified the urinary system (currently the system being reviewing int he JPC curriculum) and this year's WSC as the priorities, and other systems and years of WSC will follow. In addition, the current configuration requires a username ("guest") to enter, but leave the password blank. Our IT staff is currently working in this issue and we will provide periodic updates. b

Sorry for the repetitive Foundation emails!
by Bruce Williams Jan. 1, 2021

Jan. 1, 2021

We had a glitch with the listserv over the last several days (everything was disappearing without a trace), and had to go to the codewriters for the solution. "Oh yeah, we know what the problem is, and it should be fixed now." (Thanks guys!) Well, all of the backed up emails appear to be coming through now (you may make whatever analogy you like - you are all vets!) While I like to think that my emails are worth reading over and over - I will certainly understand deleting all but one copy! Bruce

Dr. Linda Kassebaum Johnson (1958-2020)
by Bruce Williams Dec. 29, 2020

Dec. 29, 2020

It is with an incredibly heavy heart that we announce the passing of one of our previous Board members, a member of our Faculty (speaking most recently only four years ago at the Gross Course at Kansas State University), and one of our greatest champions and most ardent supporters, Dr. Linda Kassebaum Johnson. As one who had the incredible luck to work with her early in our careers at the Armed Forces of Pathology, and then for many years later with the (then) C.L. Davis Foundation, she will forever live in my fondest memories. No one who knew her would forget so many things about her - the constant twinkle in her eye, her ever-present smile, or the way all conversation in the room would stop when she would speak in her very soft-spoken way,. Linda never failed to bring out our better angels, and I, like so many others I am sure, walked away from our every encounter resolved to be a better person. Her passing once again reveals the cruelty of the year, and the randomness of the universe, and we are all lessened by the lack of her company. "Death, be not proud, though some have called thee mghty and dreadful, for thou art not so; For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow die not." ....*John Donne* Linda, we will miss you and always will remember you. bhw [image: 133310934_10159396028932873_7047909159132195753_o.jpg] DR. LINDA JOHNSON 1958-2020 Linda Josephine Kassebaum Johnson, daughter of John Philip Kassebaum and former Kansas Sen. Nancy Landon Kassebaum, died early on Sunday morning from the effects of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy at her home in Buena Vista, Colorado. She was born in Wichita, Kansas in 1958 and was a graduate of Holton-Arms School, Kansas State University (B.S., D.V.M. *1979*, M.Sc.), and The Johns Hopkins University (1987-1990 post doc/residency and M.P.H.). While always a mother first to her children, Linda had a life-long passion for veterinary medicine and comparative pathology. After earning her D.V.M., Linda joined the Peace Corps as a veterinarian, and was stationed in Togo, where she met her former husband, Maurice Johnson. Her career included the position as Chief Pathologist for the Registry of Comparative Pathology (1991-1995) at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Washington DC where she wrote and edited many publications, facilitated research, and coordinated symposia related to comparative pathology. Her leadership managing the Registry contributed significantly to the elucidation of a number of animal models of human disease, ensured the preservation of pathologic material from many species of exotic animals, and resulted in the archival of invaluable reference material related to comparative medicine. From 1996-98 Linda was an Assistant Clinical Professor of Comparative Pathology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and from 2001 to 2003 at Yale University Division of Comparative Medicine. In 2003 she moved with her family to England where she was a consultant pathologist with the Veterinary Laboratories Agency in Weybridge, England; returning to the US and the Yale University Division of Comparative Pathology in 2008. In 2009 Linda joined the Tri-Institutional Laboratory of Comparative Pathology (MSKCC/Cornell and Rockefeller), Center of Comparative Medicine and Pathology, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Manhattan, NY. She was associated with the Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and was Chief Anatomic Pathologist at the Weill Cornell Medical College. In this position, she was responsible for the Genetically Modified Animal Phenotyping Service where she provided phenotyping assessment for potential animal models of human disease and anatomic and clinical pathology assessment for safety and biologic studies required for FDA submission. In October 2011 Linda took a position in Australia as the Head of Anatomy and Pathology at the James Cook University Veterinary School in Townsville, Queensland, Australia where she oversaw the departments of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences, Comparative Anatomy, Histology and Pathology as well as supervised the services of the university diagnostic laboratory and provided guidance to research students. Here she identified and initiated scientific collaborations with university researchers. Her collaborations included work in C57BL/6 mice deficient in MyD8 developing *E. coli* peritonitis and investigation of gill aneurysms in reef-caught Damselfish related to chronically elevated water temperature. After returning to the States she accepted a position in 2015 developing the Comparative Medicine and Pathology group at the Anschutz Medical Campus, University of Colorado-Denver. She retired from there when her disease progressed. She was a member of the American College of Veterinary Pathologists, American Veterinary Medical Association, Kansas Veterinary Medical Association, the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists and was on the Board of Directors of the C.L. Davis and S.W. Thompson DVM Foundation for Comparative and Veterinary Pathology. Over her career, Linda co-authored over 50 peer-reviewed scientific articles, served on the editorial board for several journals, and received the KSU College of Veterinary Medicine Alumni Recognition Award. She was highly respected by her colleagues in veterinary medicine and pathology for her professional skills, character and contributions. She was also a warm and compassionate friend., and few who knew her were not touched by the twinkle in her eye, her constant smile, and even fewer left her presence without an involuntary resolve to be a better person moving forward. Linda loved spending time with her family, but was never far from an animal, whether it be a dog, cat, or a tree kangaroo. She loved to watch the Palm Cockatoos by her office in Australia. Unsurprisingly, she was a volunteer at the Denver Zoo. She also enjoyed rooting for Arsenal F.C., bird watching, travel, and adventure (as long as an animal was involved). She is survived by her mother, two brothers, Bill and John, three children, Kristian, Margot, and Elsa, as well as a large family including step-siblings and cousins, nephews and nieces. A private funeral will be held in Kansas. In lieu of flowers, a memorial for Linda has been established at the Kansas State University Foundation to support veterinary students. Contributions may be sent to: KSU Foundation, 1800 Kimball Ave., Ste 200, Manhattan, KS 66502, please indicate fund M47334.

Thank you and happy holidays from the Davis-Thompson Foundation
by Francisco A. Uzal Dec. 24, 2020

Dec. 24, 2020

Dear Colleagues As this unusual and difficult year draws to a close, I take this opportunity on behalf of the Davis-Thompson Foundation to thank you one and all for your outstanding efforts. What would normally have been a busy year of travel and face-to-face courses all over the world became a challenging but yet exciting time of interesting and plentiful virtual seminars. The upside of this is that we have been able to offer a wide and diverse range of instructional topics with great CE credits to many, many more people in more places around the world, than at any other time. The striking success of our online seminars is a direct result of the consistent hard work and generous donations of time and resources from all of our speakers, moderators, and our awesome webinar committee, along with all of our members who attended our seminars over countless hours. We couldn't have done it without your commitment and dedication. The seminars, however, are only part of the many great educational activities that the Foundation offers, including our great series of texbooks on "Soft tissue tumors", the slide rotations and study centers in many countries, and much more. Please have a look at the wonderful video that Rachel Autran and her team put together, as a token of our appreciation, to sum up some of the activities of the Foundation in 2020 and thank everyone who made it possible. https://youtu.be/QFHisZPmEW4 A huge thank you to you all, from all of us at the Davis/Thomson Foundation. We wish you a safe and happy holiday season, and best wishes for a brand new year. Paco Uzal CEO Davis Thompson Foundation Francisco A. Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl.

thank you
by Jey Koehler Nov. 19, 2020

Thanks to Bruce and Paco for the kind words and to the Board for your confidence in me. I am honored to do this work and will give it my mind, heart, and spirit! In the almost mind-bogglingly complicated modern world in which we find ourselves, it can be a struggle to know what the right thing is to do and how to do it when it comes to helping others. Bureaucracy and internecine politics of various kinds can conspire to thwart our simple desire to give of ourselves to our fellow humans. For me, and I strongly suspect for all of you, the Foundation stands out in stark relief to this by being an organization with a refreshingly clear, straightforward, pure, and noble goal. It is incredible to see the many hours of dedication put in by brilliant, talented, and generous people toward this singular enterprise, with both the "rockstar" lecturing and the abundant behind-the-scenes work being equally critical to our mission. To be able to work with not just a handful but dozens of these extraordinary people is a joy and a humbling privilege. Together, we can and will continue to do the work of disseminating high-quality veterinary pathology teaching to every corner of the globe, expanding our reach every year. Three cheers for the Foundation! Jey Jey W. Koehler, DVM, PhD, DACVP Associate Professor, Department of Pathobiology, College of Veterinary Medicine Coordinator, Anatomic Pathology Residency Program Clinical Liason, Surgical Biopsy Service

We have a new President too!
by Rafaela De Negri Nov. 19, 2020

Nov. 19, 2020

Please join me in welcoming *Dr Jey Koehler*, as the new *President* of the Davis Thompson Foundation. Jey is currently on sabbatical leave and she has agreed to take over as President starting on March 1st, 2021. Until then, Dr. Francisco Uzal will continue to carry on the activities of CEO and President. We are thrilled with Jey’s new appointment. She is a world-renowned pathologist, who has been a member of the faculty of discussants of the Foundation for many years and, most importantly, Jey is and has been for several years, the director of one of the Foundation’s most prestigious courses: the Descriptive Veterinary Pathology course. Under Jey’s leadership, the DVP course reached the outstanding standard it enjoys today. This year, because of COVID, Jey and her team transformed, in record time, the whole DVP course into a fully digital version, which was offered to trainees all over the world. Jey has the knowledge, enthusiasm and commitment, to take the Foundation to the next level. Welcome Jey!! -- Rafaela De Negri, DVM, MSc Veterinary Pathologist/Assistant Professor Murray State University Breathitt Veterinary Center
