Dear all Happy New year and welcome to the January issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation newsletter, put together by our great managing editors: Stephanie Shrader and Javier Asin. Thank you! As we enter 2021, I want to start by thanking you our speakers, moderators, committee members and everybody that in one way or another contributed to the teaching activities of the Foundation, for your hard work and generous donations of time and resources. We couldn't have done it without your commitment and dedication. This issue of the newsletter includes an emotional farewell to Dr. Linda Kassebaum Johnson, who passed away recently. She was one of our previous Board members, a member of our Faculty, and one of our greatest champions and most ardent supporters of the Foundation. Linda: you will be missed! In this issue you will find the Foundation's calendar for the first semester of 2021, which is already full with an an amazing variety of educational activities for a most diverse audience, in several different languages (English, Portuguese and Spanish). We are also offering some of our seminars time-zone friendly for many countries around the world. All our educational offerings come at no cost or low cost and with great CE credits, and are also announced in social media (Facebook, Instagram and YouTube) where you can find details about our seminars and also watch most of our past-seminars. Last but no least: In January and February, we are offering two free day-long seminars, on Diseases of honeybees and Diseases of coral, respectively. Both seminars will provide RACE and MOC credits, which are offered to our participants at no cost. Enjoy! Looking forward to seeing you at one or more of our upcoming seminars.
