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!

March 3, 2021

SAVE THE DATE! Here is the first announcement for the 2021 Current Lab Animal Science Seminar and Pathology of Lab Animals Course! We are virtual, the price is lower, and CLASS is back! We are also planning both a live and rebroadcast version as we are doing with all of our 2021 multiday courses. Yes, CLASS is back after a year's hiatus - with the well-rested Dr. Sarah Bro back at the helm! These two days are aimed at lab animal practitioners and trainees - covering the current USDA and PHS regs, NRC and Ag guides, and with a special session on preparing for the ACLAM exam. This course has been highly praised by successful ACLAM diplomates as a must for board prep. The remainder of the week will be the 68th annual Pathology of Lab Animals Course - a favorite of lab animal pathologists and practitioners around the world. Last year, this 4.5 day course, headed by MAJ Robert Kim, was the Foundation's highest attended course by representatives in over 25 countries. We have added new speakers for major topics, updated the course materials, and for live participants - two mock exams will be given. And, as we did last year, bursaries for five attendees who can demonstrate financial and professional need, will be available again this year (Stay tuned for details on submission requirements. More detailed flyers with schedule and speakers are on the way, but you can register for one or both courses now at: https://davisthompsonfoundation.regfox.com/2021pola[image: pola2021.jpg]

It's the third jewel in the Foundation's annual "Quadruple Crown" (yes, we are that special that we have a Quadruple Crown) - the Foundation's annual and sometimes several-times-an-annual Descriptive Veterinary Pathology Course.

Spend *Tuesday the 9th of March* with two of our most popular speakers and learn all about the diseases of exotic birds. These are the ones you can't eat (the birds, not the speakers) - you can just look and listen to them. And some of these birds you can talk to. 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....

There MUST be a great seminar for you in the next 3 weeks!
by Bruce Williams Jan. 17, 2021

Jan. 17, 2021

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. Register at: https://davisthompsonfoundation.regfox.com/genpath2021 <https://davisthompsonfoundation.regfox.com/genpath2021?fbclid=IwAR0WP_R449h…> Live version: $250 Rebroadcast: $100 And finally on 5-6 February, the rescheduled "2020 Northeast Veterinary Pathology Conference" will be happening VIRTUALLY! (We have to get it done, because the 2021 is in the planning stages!) A very informal one and a half-day session, we have Dr., Brian Murphy as our keynote speaker on Oral and Maxillofacial pathology and then a slate of 24 brief case presentations focusing on similar issues (since we have the expert in the house!) It's a GREAT way to see a range of interesting cases, some classic and some unique!

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.

Jan 8 - "Black Voices In Pathology - A Panel Discussion on Diversity and Inclusion"
by Bruce Williams Dec. 27, 2020

Dec. 27, 2020

In less than 2 weeks -"Black Voices in Pathology - A Panel Discussion on Diversity and Inclusion." Our first day-long session sold out 1000 seats - now we are back for a 2-hour panel discussion with 6 experienced pathologists who have worked in our field for many years and seen (hopefully) many changes. Be part of the discussion that was one of our most important in 2020, and get 2 hours of free RACE-accredited CE on top of that. We promise this is NOT your boring workplace diversity training!

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. ACVP Professor of Veterinary Diagnostic Pathology Branch Chief California Animal Health and Food Safety Lab School of Veterinary Medicine University of California, Davis 105 W Central Ave. San Bernardino, CA 92408 Ph 909-383-4287 Fax 909-884-5980 E-mail fauzal(a)ucdavis.edu<mailto:fauzal@ucdavis.edu>

thank you
by Jey Koehler Nov. 20, 2020

Nov. 20, 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

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

The Davis-Thompson Foundation has a new Tresurer!
by Francisco A. Uzal Sept. 21, 2020

Sept. 21, 2020

Dear all It is an immense honor and privilege to announce that Bruce Williams has been unanimously elected to the position of Treasurer of the Davis/Thompson Foundation. Bruce has worked tirelessly for many years as the CEO of the Foundation and before as its president. During this time, he has been the driving force behind providing workshops, seminars and training courses in Veterinary Pathology, both locally and globally, travelling extensively himself and championing other pathologists of all ages, genders and races. His outstanding leadership and organizational skills have been fundamental in solidifying the Foundation’s reputation as the number one organization promoting the teaching of Veterinary Pathology in the world. Under his direction, the Foundation has gone from strength to strength with each passing year and, in these very difficult times, reminded stronger than ever. As the realities of COVID hit, Bruce was swift to recognize not only the necessity but also the great potential of online delivery and very quickly figured out the best way to get it done. We are now able to offer an enormous number of webinars and courses worldwide, and reach a substantially increased audience as a consequence of his efforts. If you know Bruce at all, you will know that he works unremittingly and is available for the Foundation 24/7. Pathologists young and old look to him as a model of what hard work, a good heart and a strong vision for the future can achieve. I am proud to be his friend and colleague and look forward to many years of collaboration to come. Rest assured that Bruce will be working just as hard and resolutely as your Treasurer, even though he may not be quite as visible as before, and we remain in very good hands. Congratulations Bruce, we wish you the very best in your new role. Kind regards Paco Uzal

The Davis-Thompson Foundation has a new Chief Executive Officer!
by Bruce Williams Sept. 21, 2020

Sept. 21, 2020

It is my great pleasure to announce for the third time in its 47 year history, the Charles Louis Davis and Samuel Wesley Thompson Foundation has a new Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Francisco (Paco) Uzal. A member of our Board of Directors for over fifteen years, Paco has risen through the ranks, being the architect of the Latin Comparative Pathology Group (LCPG, aka the Foundation’s Latin American Division), the first LCPG President, and ultimately, the Foundation’s first Vice-President for Latin American Affairs. His work, often self-funded, established Divisions in Argentina, Colombia, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, Peru, and held courses in many others. Three years ago, he was elected President of the Foundation by the Foundation's Board, and has excelled in that job, overseeing the Foundation's courses all over the world, (which have ranged up to 50 in some years), as well as being the primary architect in the Foundation's response to the 2020 pandemic, expertly and quickly pivoting from in-person to virtual seminars, while most organizations were still trying to figure whether they would even be capable of having meetings. He has also served twice during that time as the President of the Latin Comparative Pathology Group, not only establishing it, but also establishing it as one of the best-regarded pathology educational organizations throughout Latin America. During his entire time as a member of the Foundation's board and its president, he has lectured for us around the world many times on topics ranging from diseases of horse and ruminants, gastrointestinal disease, and descriptive pathology, and is most assuredly one of our most popular speakers. Superlatives fail to do justice to Paco’s contributions to the field of veterinary pathology, and to the education of all those who practice it, especially those who are in the early stages of their career. It has been my great pleasure to work side by side with him in a shared vision of pathology education for everyone around the world, and it is my great honor to call him a friend. As a friend, I am posting a short bio below (to his great chagrin, as one of the most humble men I know) for those few pathologists around the world who have not had the good fortune to meet him. The position of Foundation CEO and the Chairman of its Board is one that is a career in the making, and a position that is a second career in itself. It calls for men and women of vision, and provides years of service to fulfill that singular individual's vision. Those of us who do it don't do it as a career box check, but because we are driven to improve global education in veterinary pathology, and to give back far more than we have been given, all the while allowing others to collect the credit and accolades. It is a job conducted largely off the stage And so, to the members and friends of the Foundation, I present your new Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Paco Uzal. ********** Francisco A. Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl. ACVP, is a Professor of Diagnostic Pathology and Branch Chief of the San Bernardino Laboratory of the California Animal Health and Food Safety, UCDavis. He is a leading expert on clostridial diseases of animals with special emphasis in enteric diseases. Dr. Uzal has published ~ 250 articles in peer reviewed journals. He is the senior author of the chapter on “Alimentary Diseases”, for the 6th edition of “Jubb, Kennedy and Palmer’s Pathology of Domestic Animals” (2015, Elsevier), and the first author of the recently published textbook on Clostridial diseases of animals (2016, Wiley and Blackwell). He is a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Pathologists and a member of the American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians. Dr Uzal is an Associated Editor and Photo Editor of the Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation and Anaerobe and member of the editorial board of several other journals. He has been the coordinator of the Post-mortem Program for the California Horse Racing Board for the past 12 years. He is currently the Vice-President of the Davis/Thompson Foundation and president-elect of the Latin Comparative Pathology Group. Over the past 15+ years he has mentored a large number of Latinamerican veterinarians and vet students visiting his laboratory in California and lectured in many countries of Latin America, Europe, Asia and Oceania. He received the 2016 Life Achievement Award from HENAA for his contributors to education in science and technology.

"Pathogen Discovery and Proof of Causality" - Next TUESDAY, Sept 22
by Bruce Williams Sept. 17, 2020

Sept. 17, 2020

[image: pathogendiscoveryB.jpg] Our technology workshops and seminars have been a huge hit with everyone from residents getting into the field to the old geezers like me who want to see what you young folks are up to! (Who remembers Koch's postulates? Ol' Bobby Koch is out like last weeks' newspapers - and he was miserable to start with!) Well, there's new, better, and faster way to identify pathogens and prove they are at the root of a new disease these days - and we are bringing you four speakers who are doing this on a regular basis - they've had the triumphs and made the mistakes, and they are going to share them with you, next Tuesday, September 22. Doesn't "(INSERT YOUR SURNAME HERE)'s Syndrome" sound great?!!!" (No, it doesn't because we are veterinary pathologists, and we don't do that! Grow up!) But you are still going to want to hear all about next generation sequencing, real-time PCR and other high tech ways to sort through potential pathogens in quick order! It's only $50 for a full day's worth of RACE-accredited CE, and this lecture is also good for 4 credits toward ACVP MOC. You are invited to a Zoom webinar on Sep 22, 2020 07:00 AM Pacific Time (US and Canada). Register in advance for this webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_5QtEqhxOTYavSWkyRRKqrg After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

Fridays Free Seminars from the Davis-Thompson Foundation - THIS FIDAY!
by Bruce Williams Sept. 16, 2020

Sept. 16, 2020

We have two exciting free seminars for you coming starting in 48 hours! Do you know what pain looks like? Hurts me to admit it, but I don't either. But our speaker at this Friday's Free Webinar does! This Friday at 1200PM EDT, Dr. LaTasha Crawford, VMD, PhD, DACVP of The Crawford Lab at the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine will discuss "Anatomic Correlates of Pain - Advances and Opportunities in Sensory Pathology". Despite widespread prevalence of pain in patients of every species, there are still major gaps in our ability to diagnose or treat pain and sensory dysfunction. Building on her multifaceted background as a veterinary pathologist and neuroscientist, Dr. Crawford will share the wondrous heterogeneity of the sensory system that sets the landscape for her own research in pain mechanisms. This includes key findings that have emerged from mechanistic studies of rodent models of pain as well as the persisting gaps in our knowledge of sensory neuron pathology. Register in advance for this webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_eNADz8t5QSy0t9MZdp33OQ <https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_eNADz8t5QSy0t9MZdp33OQ?fbclid=I…> AND: Still confused about bone? Well, we can't fix that in one lecture, but this Friday evening/Saturday morning Australian Seminar Series lecture by Dr. Brian Murphy, DVM, PhD, DACVP and Associate Professor at the University of California at Davis - "In pursuit of a sense of bone", may fill in a few more pieces of the puzzle. This lecture is available at the following slew of times - 10AM Saturday in Perth/8AM Saturday in Sydney/8PM Friday in Los Angeles/5PM Washington DC. Register in advance for this webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_yr68ZY8sSYGmItiofM9xDA <https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_yr68ZY8sSYGmItiofM9xDA?fbclid=I…> After registering for either seminar, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. Attendees will receive a certificate of attendance, and each seminar is worth 2 credits towards maintenance of certification in the ACVP.

Sept. 12, 2020

Save the Date for our first online General Pathology Review Course - Course Directors Patty Pesavento and Jose Vilches-Moure are cooking up something special for 2021.

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.

Foundation September Newsletter
by Bruce Williams Aug. 31, 2020

Aug. 31, 2020

As we move into autumn, the Fondation shows no signs of slowing down - in fact we are heating up (like much of the Southern Hemisphere). In addition to our weekly Fre Friday Seminars and our bi-weekly Tuesday Day-SEminars, the fall is the time of year when many of our Divisions around the world hold their annual meetings (today is Uruguay's annual meeting!) and we also have a slate of workshops in conjunction with other organizations at THEIR annuals meeting (Hello AAVLD, Hello ACVP!). Take a peek inside for these meetings and more and catch the recaps on ones that you might have missed! We hope to see you (virtually!) at one, more, or ALL of our meetings this fall and by the way, have you bought the new fascicle - Tumors of the Soft Tissues?

Black Voices in Pathology and FREE CE - this Tuesday!
by Bruce Williams July 26, 2020

July 26, 2020

The Davis-Thompson Foundation wholeheartedly and without reservation supports the Black Lives Matter movement. Since our inception in 1970, our tenets have always included that the Foundation does not discriminate against race. It is all well and good for an organization to issue a statement that says that they support Black Lives Matter, but we in the Foundation believe that now is a time for meaningful change. Our “Black Voices in Pathology” seminar on July 28 is only a first step. Our already diverse Board of Directors currently seats two black veterinary pathologists, Dr. Tiffany Lyle, head of our Correspondence Division and Dr. Lonzy Ojok of the University of Harare. We are adding a third prominent black pathologist, Dr. Angela Brice of the University of Pennsylvania, as a permanent ad hoc member to oversee all of the Foundation’s business from an inclusion and diversity standpoint. We look forward to working closely w ith her, and translating her ideas and input into programs that will better serve all of our members around the world. Beyond this seminar on Black Voices in Pathology, we will be having additional seminars, both day-seminars and our free Friday seminars which will highlight black pathologists and those in other minorities, whose voices are not always heard in our profession. It is our goal that one or more Friday seminars each month will be presented by a black pathologist or member of another minority group. This initiative is not only one that will be important for the Foundation in the United States, but one that we believe will translate well in all corners of the globe where the Foundation educates its members. In order to introduce our “Black Voices in Pathology” to its largest possible audience, we are providing a full day of free RACE CE to attendees. We also hope that our colleagues and friends will share this flyer within their veterinary schools, as this slate of speakers are an inspiring group and we hope many veterinary students will be part of this audience. Register in advance for this webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_T_i09oihTuW0xEx8vbiPXg <https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_T_i09oihTuW0xEx8vbiPXg?fbclid=I…> After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. Join us on our first steps, spend the day with outstanding pathologists, their experiences and wisdom, and get free CE in the bargain. Thank you for being a part of this movement, and our community.

Only 250/1000 seats remain for "Black Voices in Pathology virtual seminar
by Bruce Williams June 28, 2020

June 28, 2020

The Davis-Thompson Foundation wholeheartedly and without reservation supports the Black Lives Matter movement. Since our inception in 1970, our tenets have always included that the Foundation does not discriminate against race. It is all well and good for an organization to issue a statement that says that they support Black Lives Matter, but we in the Foundation believe that now is a time for meaningful change. Our “Black Voices in Pathology” seminar on July 28 is only a first step. Our already diverse Board of Directors currently seats two black veterinary pathologists, Dr. Tiffany Lyle, head of our Correspondence Division and Dr. Lonzy Ojok of the University of Harare. We are adding a third prominent black pathologist, Dr. Angela Brice of the University of Pennsylvania, as a permanent ad hoc member to oversee all of the Foundation’s business from an inclusion and diversity standpoint. We look forward to working closely with her, and translating her ideas and input into programs that will better serve all of our members around the world. Beyond this seminar on Black Voices in Pathology, we will be having additional seminars, both day-seminars and our free Friday seminars which will highlight black pathologists and those in other minorities, whose voices are not always heard in our profession. It is our goal that one or more Friday seminars each month will be presented by a black pathologist or member of another minority group. This initiative is not only one that will be important for the Foundation in the United States, but one that we believe will translate well in all corners of the globe where the Foundation educates its members. In order to introduce our “Black Voices in Pathology” to its largest possible audience, we are providing a full day of free RACE CE to attendees. We also hope that our colleagues and friends will share this flyer within their veterinary schools, as this slate of speakers are an inspiring group and we hope many veterinary students will be part of this audience. Register in advance for this webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_T_i09oihTuW0xEx8vbiPXg <https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_T_i09oihTuW0xEx8vbiPXg?fbclid=I…>After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. Bruce Williams, DVM CEO, Davis-Thompson Foundation P.S. Here's a new twist to foil those folks who are just looking for free CE - if you don't sign in to the seminar on the 28th, you won't get the certificate on the 29th.. When the CE is on us, we will check youout! PPS. I WAS born on a Monday, but it wasn't last Monday! :)

In Brazil, there are at least 131 described toxic plants belonging to 79 genera. Annual livestock losses due to plant poisoning-associated deaths are estimated to range from 820,761 to 1,755,763 cattle, 399,800 to 445,309 sheep, 52,675 to 63,292 goats and 38,559 horses. In veterinary diagnostic laboratories around the country,approximately 15% of necropsy diagnoses involve plant poisoning, and in the deep south of the country, themain cause of death in cattle is poisoning by Senecio species. Due to time restrictions, we will address cattleintoxication considering only five plants, namely, Senecio spp. (ragwort), Pteridium arachnoideum (brackenfern), Ateleia glazioviana, Senna occidentalis (coffee senna), and Vicia villosa (hairy vetch).

A very important and overdue note of thanks...
by Bruce Williams June 12, 2020

June 12, 2020

Recently I have gotten a lot of really nice emails about the good work that the Foundation is doing with our virtual seminar series and how it really is filling a void left by the cancellation of so many meetings this year. I just want people to know that while my face may be all over it (sorry I’m not more Brad Pitt-like), there is absolutely no way I could do all this by myself, and there are a lot of people who deserve notice and credit. I am remiss for waiting this long to do it... First and foremost, our Foundation President Paco Uzal, who puts in such incredible long hours keeping everything running, if not smoothly, then with that appearance (and really, which is more important?) It took a lot of years to find someone that not only shared my vision, but could rearrange their schedule (yes, we all have real jobs that pay the bills), to make it a reality. Paco is incredibly devoted to international education, and he has brought the same fire with him to global (and national) education that he did to Latin American education before he became President of the entire Foundation. There is also a great crew of young (at least younger than me) pathologists who are spearheading the "Virtual Seminar Committee" and are responsible for doing all of the heavy lifting, as there are a lot of moving parts. RACE requires applications to go in on time, evaluations to be created, and certificates to go out on time. We need moderators for the seminars, ideas for the seminars, people to corral speakers. They brought a much more advance online evaluation system to the Foundation (why did I wait so long?). Even the videos have to be edited and cleaned up (blank spaces taken off the front and end and if you see some of the ones from yesterday, we now have a cool intro and watermark. Here are the people who make me look good when I upload the videos and flyers. I am putting some of the things they do beside their name so when you see their work, you will think of them: (but everyone pitches in to get everything done and some are so good at everything, they haven't found a niche!) Jeann Leal - (our graphic designer - all those flyers) Laura Bassel - (Survey Monkey and boy is the output amazing) Rafaela De Negri - (great moderator) Laura Setyo - (great moderator) Sophia Rosales Martinez - (she is a much better moderator than she thinks) Rachel Neto (she writes great reviews for the newsletter and can do anything behind the scenes) Whitney Zoll (RACE applications, certificate distribution - this sounds easy but it is a killer) Neha Mishra (certificates) Brigid Troan - (did you see her moderate this last Tuesday - that's 11 hour's folks and she was perfect till the end!) Marie-Odile Benoit-Biancamo - (video editing and she may just have the longest name in the Foundation!) Will O'Neill - (video editing, and I rarely involve residents as they have more important things to do) and of course Jim Britt - who makes sure we ALWAYS get our RACE credits. Thank you to all these folks and you deserve all the credit. Bruce Williams, DVM CEO Davis-Thompson Foundation
