Dear Colleagues

Welcome to the August issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation newsletter, with the compliments, as usual of our outstanding managing editors, Javier Asin

and Jeann Leal.

It is with heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of Dr Mary Anna Thrall, on July 14. Dr. Thrall was an incredibly accomplished clinical pathologist,

who was a prolific and generous contributor to the DTF. During many years she taught clinical pathology for anatomic pathologists for the Foundation in many

countries. A full article about her great life is in the following pages.

This issue is, as always, full of information about the training activities of the Foundation all over the world in several languages. See them in the following

pages or in our website: https://davisthompsonfoundation.org/

Remember that registration for one of our newest courses, Foundations of Pathology, is open and there are still a few seats available. Consider registering

soon because once registration is complete, we will not be able to accept new registrations. And do not forget the 3-day hands-on Racehorse Necropsy Workshop co-sponsored by the Horse Integrity and Safety Authority, a “must” for those doing necropsies of racehorses. For this particular workshop we have also

created a waiting list (see registration page), so if you do not manage to secure a seat, we will consider doing a new version later in the year or early in 2025.

One of the many highlights of our July training activities, was the “Just in time mock exams”, an incredibly successful two-day meeting attended by a large

number of aspiring veterinary anatomic pathologists (good luck to all of you!!!). This seminar will be offered annually in the summer. Looking forward to seeing you in one of our training activities.

Warm regards
