If you are interested in the pathology of the animals who are brave enough to go through life without a spine, then don’t miss the Invertebrate Pathology Conference! This 7-hour VIRTUAL online conference will be held on Friday, April 22, 2022 from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST.

This conference will feature the keynote lecture “Spineless: Pathology of the 97 Percent” by Dr. Elise LaDouceur, Chief of Extramural Projects and Research at the Joint Pathology Center. Following the keynote lecture, pathologists, residents, and veterinary students will give 15-minute presentations on their most interesting invertebrate pathology cases during an interactive virtual session via Zoom.

If you wish to present a case, please email Elise LaDouceur (Elise.E.LaDouceur.civ@mail.mil) and Sarah Cudd (Sarah.K.Cudd.mil@mail.mil) with a brief description of the case (i.e. species and disease) by March 15^th, 2022. Those applicants with chosen cases will be notified by email the same week. Selected presenters will be asked to submit a digital or glass slide and prepare a 2-3 page write up by April 15^th 2022.
