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. 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

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
