March issue of Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter
by Francisco A. Uzal March 1, 2023

March 1, 2023

Dear colleagues Welcome to the March issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter, brilliantly prepared, as always, by our great Managing Editors, Javier Asin and Jeann Leal. Thank you Javier and Jeann! This issue is chock full of information about our myriad training activities around the globe, including, amongst others, three of the 4 "big ones": Descriptive Veterinary Pathology Course, CLIIC, CLASS & POLA (Gen Path was already successfully completed in February). Also, have a look at the table of activities in Latin America with an impressive number of courses and seminars throughout the continent! Of particular interest is the article prepared by our Chief Financial Officer, Dr Bruce Williams, on the Foundation's Noah's Slidebox, a terrific new addition to the training toolbox of the Foundation and available for free to pathologists and trainees around the globe. This month we are very proud to present in our "Expert's Corner" section a great article prepared by Dr Roger Kelly (University of Queensland, Australia) on gross examination of the bone marrow. As Roger explains in his article, this is knowledge that comes after many years of working in the PM room and is hard, or sometimes impossible, to find in the literature. Another legend of veterinary pathology, Dr Grant Maxie, has provided this month's fantastic editorial on ongoing competence of diagnostic veterinary pathologists; look it in "JVDI in focus". Thank you Roger and Grant. Looking forward to seeing everyone in one of our seminars. Kind regards Francisco (Paco) Uzal, DVM, MSc, PhD, Dipl.

Curious about multiomic pathology?
by Bruce Williams Feb. 24, 2023

Feb. 24, 2023

*Curious about multiomic pathology? Don't have any idea what it is? Explore with other histopathologists.* Greetings Histopathologists. Mass multiplexing immunofluorescence and in-situ hybridization in FFPE have just started to decode our 200-year old oral tradition of interpreting H&E slides. If you've spent time around the engineers, microscopists, molecular biologists and bioinformaticians who are advancing this technology, you may have longed for someone you can discuss these technologies and data with from a histopath perspective. Long no more! We are starting a Multiomic Histopathology Journal Club where we can speak pathology and anatomy without wondering if anyone understands our language. At the same time, MHJC will always be a place where newcomers can be comfortable asking basic questions like *what is segmentation?* Anyone who is interested please send me an email. Have a great day histopathologists! Ken (Self-appointed secretary of the MHJC) Kenneth Kim Dipl.
