In Memoriam: Dr. Gordon Charles Hard (1931-2021)
by Bruce Williams Dec. 7, 2021

Dec. 7, 2021

In Memoriam: Dr. Gordon Charles Hard (1931-2021) Dr. Gordon Hard, of Tairua, New Zealand, a preeminent international toxicology thought leader and international consultant in toxicologic pathology of the kidney, passed on November 22, 2021. He was a key player in shaping and developing the global field of toxicologic pathology and the role of toxicologic pathology in risk assessment of environmental chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Gordon was born in Auckland, New Zealand in 1931. Dr. Hard received a BSc from the University of Auckland in 1955 and a Bachelor of Veterinary Science in 1959 from the University of Sydney (Australia). He then practiced veterinary medicine as Chief Veterinarian in the rural districts of Taihape and Raetihi in New Zealand. A moment of epiphany occurred when, after working all day and night, he crashed his car on a mountainous road and, in recovery, decided to go into pathology. After receiving his PhD from The University of Sydney in 1968 and later a DSc from the University of Melbourne (Australia) in 1978, Dr. Hard worked with Professor Peter Magee in renal cancer research at the Fels Institute of Research at Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia where he was appointed as Professor. Thus began his specialization in renal carcinogenesis and chemical injury, beginning with several seminal papers about the nitroso compounds. He then became Head of Carcinogenesis Research at the University of New South Wales (Australia) and later Director and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the British Industrial Biological Research Association (BIBRA), Carshalton, Surrey, UK. Subsequently he served as Director of the American Health Foundation in Valhalla, New York, USA. He continued his research in renal toxicologic pathology, including consulting, while in those administrative roles. After stepping down from research leadership roles, which some would call retirement, he became a widely sought after renal pathology consultant to the pharmaceutical, chemical, consumer product and government organizations in North America, Europe and Japan. He published hundreds of scientific articles and many chapters, and also presented at a wide variety of meetings and venues, including teaching kidney pathology to future generations of toxicologic pathologists. Numerous awards attest to Dr. Hard’s valuable scientific contributions, including an Honorary Membership in the American College of Veterinary Pathologists in 2005 and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society of Toxicologic Pathology in 2017. He served as Editor-in-Chief of Toxicologic Pathology, Founding Editor in Chief for Toxicology in Vitro, and Editor in Chief for Food & Chemical Toxicology. He was also a Fellow of the Academy of Toxicological Sciences and the Royal College of Pathologists (London), and was awarded the DVSc from the University of Sydney for his research contributions. Dr. Hard was multitalented, in his early years playing college soccer (University of Sydney) and semiprofessional soccer (Melbourne InterVarsity Football) in Australia. He had a love of music throughout his career, playing the keyboard for house guests. He snow skied every year well into his seventh decade. In a multifamily ski outing in Nevada, Gordon had everyone listen to his favorite “Tubthumping” by Chumbawamba, his favorite song. He was a student of nature with the ability to identify myriad plant and animal species. He particularly liked hosting visitors to his home in Tairua, with its spectacular views of the ocean, beaches, and mountains. He and his wife, Ruth, served as guides for many to the north island of New Zealand, educating the visitors about the history, nature, and beauty of his homeland for which he had great pride and many stories. Dr. Hard is survived by his wife Ruth, daughter Cassandra Hard (Wentworth Falls, Australia) and sons Dr. James (Jake) J. Hard (Caerphilly, Wales), Nicolas (Nic) J.C. Hard (Benidoleig, Spain), 6 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. He had dual citizenship in Australia/New Zealand, with resident status in the United States. We have lost a pillar of the renal toxicology/pathology community and a gentleman and scholar in society. Samuel M. Cohen, Wanda M.

Tumors of Bone, Cartilage, and Hard Tissues now available in Foundation Bookstore!
by Bruce Williams Nov. 9, 2021

Nov. 9, 2021

It has arrived! Welcome the 4th volume of “Surgical Pathology of Tumors of Domestic Animals. Tumors of Bones, Cartilage and Other Hard Tissues.” The 4th volume of “Surgical Pathology of Tumors of Domestic Animals” covers tumors of bone, cartilage and other hard tissues, specifically odontogenic tumors and tumors of the mandible. Included are osseous, cartilaginous, and notochordal tumors, as well as non-osteogenic, non-chondrogenic tumors of bone and tumor-like lesions of bone and extraskeletal chondro-osseous tumors. While odontogenic tumors have historically been included with tumors of the alimentary tract, these tumors were also included in this 4th volume together with other tumors and tumor-like lesions of the mandible to provide surgical pathologists with a better comparative view of similar entities. Bone is a highly dynamic tissue, and any type of mass effect will result in alteration of the normal architecture. Correctly interpreting such reparative processes and to differentiate them from the primary disease can be challenging. The ability to interpret microscopic findings in conjunction with the various types of diagnostic imaging is often essential to reach an accurate diagnosis. This volume, therefore, integrates characteristic radiographic findings into surgical pathology of tumors of bone, cartilage and other hard tissues. As in previous volumes, dedicated chapters will review the structure and development of the tissues covered in this volume, immunohistochemistry and grading and reporting of specific tumor entities. Special chapters have been committed to the trimming and decalcification of bone and teeth as both steps are essential in providing high quality sections for microscopic interpretation.

Provide opportunities for graduate education and research, and advanced clinical training in internships and residencies. Support sustainability of livestock industries as they feed growing state, national, and global populations. Improve human, animal, and ecosystem health by integrating innovative One Health activities into our educational, scholarship, and service activities.

The TTU SVM will maintain populations of domestic animals, and the region is home to large numbers of production animals and wildlife providing further opportunities for field-based research. Amarillo is a vibrant and growing community in the Texas Panhandle. With a metropolitan statistical area population approaching 270,000, it offers attractions of a larger city while holding true to its agricultural roots ( https://www.visitamarillo.com <https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.visitamarillo.com%2F%3Ffbc…>).

Effort may be directed towards developing the site in anticipation of instructing students in their clinical year such as expanding the clinical caseload; supporting the practice consultation services; advancing the education of veterinary practitioners; and supervision of clinical year students.

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.
