Descriptive Veterinary Pathology registration is OPEN!
by Jey Koehler March 10, 2023

March 10, 2023

Look, I'm going to be real with you, folks. Whether you are in a commercial diagnostic pathology lab, an academic institution, a drug discovery team, or a CRO, being able to recognize and describe gross, microscopic, and ultrastructural findings and interpret IHC/ISH and PCR has always mattered, matters now, and will always matter. (At least until ChatGPT starts writing our reports!) The 2023 in-person Descriptive Veterinary Pathology course is a fantastic opportunity to separate yourself from your work responsibilities for a week, focus completely on your own education, and make friends you will have for a lifetime. Is it more expensive and logistically challenging to travel? Yes. Is the experience of taking this one precious week to focus only on your learning and not be distracted by 100 other things worth it? YES!! Please join us as we return to in-person format for the Descriptive Veterinary Pathology course at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine. In addition to many hours of lectures by Drs. Linden Craig, Patty Pesavento, and myself, as well as FIVE mock tests including multiple-choice and slide descriptions, registration includes coffee breaks and a catered lunch each day. On Wednesday evening we have a social hour where you can get to know your fellow participants and hang out with the instructors and local hosts. Minneapolis/St. Paul is usually gorgeous in the summer, with tons of great restaurants and breweries! The schedule will run Wednesday to Sunday rather than Monday through Friday, in an effort to help people minimize the number of days off they need to negotiate. Please join us! For more information and to register, visit https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/event/2023-descriptive-veterinary-patho… Please note: in an effort to make sure we achieve numbers of participants that support the in-person option and the extra work and expense that entails, there will be no hybrid, virtual, or recorded option this year. Register soon! If you are unable to come to Minneapolis this year, please continue to use the many, many study resources that the Foundation provides free of charge, like Free Friday and REWIND seminars, the many great videos on the YouTube channel, Noah's Arkive and Noah's Slidebox, the LCPG Diagnostic Exercises, and more.

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.

Job Opening - Veterinary Pathologist, UW Madison Primate Center, Madison Wisconsin (Onsite)
by Bruce Williams Feb. 2, 2023

Feb. 2, 2023

Job Opening - Veterinary Pathologist, UW Madison Primate Center, Madison Wisconsin (Onsite) Pathology Services Unit (PSU) staff work cooperatively with other WNPRC units to provide timely and accurate diagnosis and effective monitoring and interpretation of acute and chronic conditions affecting colony animals and subjects assigned to research studies. PSU staff serve an integral role in research at the WNPRC, offering services including but not limited to: clinical pathology testing; cytology evaluation; surgical biopsy; gross post mortem examination; specialized sample collections; and histology with unbiased interpretation of lesions in reference to the experimental questions and goals. PSU pathologists work closely with investigators to provide advice concerning protocol development (both pre and post award), anatomy, disease pathogenesis, sample collection procedures, and the modification and creation of innovative procedures to answer research hypotheses.
