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! :)

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

Passing of Dr. David Tyler, University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine
by Bruce Williams June 1, 2020

June 1, 2020

[image: 101642376_10158689158712873_8770691911309590528_n.jpg] It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of Dr. David Tyler, Joshua Meigs Distinguished Professor of Pathology at the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Georgia. In addition to a distinguished teaching career, and being one of the two founders (with Dr. Wayne Crowell) of Noah's Arkive, which has served countless veterinarians around the world for over thirty-five year, Dr. Tyler inspired countless young veterinary students to pursue a career in veterinary pathology, including one young CPT Bruce Williams, who knew after his first two tours in the Army, that a career in pathology was what he wanted to pursue.. Dave Tyler was one of the kindest professors I ever met, and he brought pathology "back to life" on a daily basis. I never had the chance to tell him how in four years of veterinary school with many outstanding teachers, he was the one who inspired me, but I hope that I have done him proud. His obituary: "David Earle Tyler went to be with the Lord on May 26, 2020. The third son of the late Guy Earl Tyler and Beatrice Virginia (Slack) Tyler, he was born in Hartford, Iowa. He graduated from Hartford High School in 1946. He served in the Army at the end of World War II as an MP in Alaska. Following his military service, he enrolled at Iowa State University (ISU). He earned both a B.S. in Animal Husbandry and a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine at ISU. During his studies at ISU, David met his sweetheart, LaVon Smith whom he married in 1952. They remained married for 66 years until LaVon's death. Following graduation from ISU, Dr. Tyler joined the faculty at Purdue University as an instructor in veterinary science. While at Purdue, he earned his M.S. degree. David then returned to his alma mater to join the faculty in the veterinary pathology department. During his time as a faculty member at ISU, he completed his Ph.D. degree and became a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Pathology. In 1966, he was recruited to become the head of the veterinary pathology department at the University of Georgia (UGA). He accepted the challenge and the whole family moved south to Athens, Georgia. He spent the remainder of his professional career at the UGA, College of Veterinary Medicine until his retirement in 1991. David was a highly respected scientist, veterinarian, and teacher. It was his role as a teacher that particularly brought joy to his professional life. His excellence as an educator was acknowledged on multiple instances by his students and his colleagues. He was named a Josiah Meigs Distinguished Teaching Professor by the University of Georgia. This is the highest honor for excellence in instruction at UGA. He was also the inaugural winner of the national Zoeitis Distinguished Veterinary Teacher Award. David was a master woodcarver and enjoyed teaching carving to friends and his colleagues. He also enjoyed traveling abroad with LaVon, and gardening at their home on Sunnybrook Drive. He was a member of the First Christian Church, Disciples of Christ in Athens, Georgia for 46 years where he served as an elder. He and LaVon became members of the Grace Community, United Methodist Church following their move to Fort Mill, South Carolina to be closer to family in 2012. David was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather who supported and protected his family.

Free Friday Seminar - 28 May - Immune-mediated drug-induced liver injury
by Bruce Williams May 29, 2020

May 29, 2020

You are invited to a "Free Friday Seminar" on 29 May at 1200 hrs EDT sponsored by the Latin Comparative Pathology Group. This virtual seminar is entitled "Pathology of immune-mediated drug-induced liver injury in immuno-oncology checkpoint inhibitor combination", and is presented by Timothy Affolter, DVM, PhD, DACVP of Global Pathology, Pfizer Drug Safety Research and Development, La Jolla, CA. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPI) are the cornerstone drugs of immuno-oncology and generally act by promoting T cell activation with subsequent tumor cell killing. Current animal models under predict the incidence and severity of immune-related adverse events observed with CPI drug combinations in the clinic. We have developed a novel mouse model that closely recapitulates these immune-mediated adverse events in the setting of a combined checkpoint blockade. Co-administration of a CTLA4 blocking antibody and an IDO1 inhibitor to PD1 knockout mice drives inflammation and necrosis in the liver, and more sporadically in other tissues, with histopathologic phenotypes similar to what has been reported clinically. Immunophenotyping of the inflammation revealed an expanded oligoclonal population of CD8+ T cells, with elevated ICOS and CD44 expression. Several novel technologies including laser capture microscopy, digital image analysis, and single cell transcriptomic analysis were used to further characterize the expression of several activation and exhaustion markers in infiltrating CD8+ T cell population. Global depletion of CD8+ T cells attenuated CPI-induced liver injury.

Avian pathology lecture by Dr. Leslie Woods
by Bruce Williams May 23, 2020

May 23, 2020

You asked for it - you got it! On May 22 at 12PM EDT, our "Free Friday Seminar" was on avian pathology. Our speaker was Professor Leslie Woods of the University of Califonia at Davis, who spoke on "My Favorite Avian Diseases. - (with a short introduction on virulent Newcastle disease by Paco Uzal) “My Favorite Avian Diseases” includes a potpourri of infectious, nutritional and toxic diseases of poultry and companion birds emphasizing gross and microscopic characteristics of the diseases. Diseases with similar gross pathological changes are compared, with distinguishing microscopic features discussed. Some may not even be distinguished microscopically and require ancillary testing for definitive diagnoses of the diseases and as a special added bonus, a brief description of the gross lesions of virulent Newcastle disease is presented by Foundation President Paco Uzal, with emphasis on those lesions that are pathognomonic for the disease and which are used as a screening to call a case compatible or not-compatible with vND. (You know we have had a low-grade outbreak in California for several years now, right?)

May 8 Webinar - "Stories from Zoos and Aquaria"
by Bruce Williams May 1, 2020

May 1, 2020

Make sure you register for our upcoming "Free Friday Seminar" at noon, Friday, 8 May - "Stories and Cases from Zoos and Aquarias" This lecture is sponsored by the Davis-Thompson Foundation will be delivered by Dr. Carlos Rodriguez, DVM, DACVP of Disney Animal Kingdom of Florida. Pathology plays a crucial role within the animal care teams at many zoological institutions and aquaria. Much more than a comprehensive program for disease diagnosis, established zoological pathology programs can shape medical intervention, collection planning, exhibit design, quarantine and risk mitigation protocols, capacity building and can even be an influential driver in many conservation programs. This conference is by no means intended as a comprehensive review of zoo or aquatic pathology but a collection of interesting and unusual cases that highlight the diversity of infectious and non-infectious diseases accrued from over a decade in this incredible field. Register in advance for this webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/…/register/WN_c4B2HNbDQyC91W5TM3S1gg <https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_c4B2HNbDQyC91W5TM3S1gg?fbclid=I…> After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. This lecture is pre-approved for 1 credit toward ACVP Maintenance of Certification. Due to the large number of attendees, and the fact that this lecture has not accredited for continuing education by the Foundation, certificates of attendance will not be available. <https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10158566519632873&set=gm.1597901890…>

by Bruce Williams April 27, 2020

April 27, 2020

The 65th Annual Pathology of Lab Animals Course is on, and this year, will be a telecourse!

It's a great way to review classic diseases and get updated on the latest ones! The tuition is half of the in-person 2019 course - only $300 for Foundation individual, university, and corporate members, and $400 for non-members (this comes with a one-year membership in the Foundation). And handouts galore! (Some say this is the best part of the course - with great reference material you will use forever.) This course has been submitted for (but not yet approved) for 32 hours of continuing educations in juridisictions which recongnize RACE. This course has also been pre-approved for credit for ACVP Maintenance of Certification for 2 hours per half-day attended. These lectures will not be posted online following this course, so if you want this fantastic review, you had better clear August 3-7 on your calendar!
