Dear colleagues, Welcome to the March issue of the Davis-Thompson Foundation Newsletter. As usual, this newsletter comes to you with the compliments of our outstanding editors Jeann Leal and Javier Asin. Like every month, our newsletter comes loaded with information about the myriad training opportunities offered by the Foundation in several languages all over the world. Organization of our CLIIC, POLA and CLASS courses is in full swing and registration is already open. Look them up in the following pages or in our website. Our classic Descriptive Veterinary Pathology Course is being reimagined. We are working together with the American College of Veterinary Pathologists in what we expect to be a 3-day virtual component followed by a 2-half-day in-person component at the 2024 ACVP/ASVCP Annual Meeting. More information coming soon. Stay tuned! This month we are proud to include in our Expert’s Corner, what we hope will be the first of a series of articles written by the legendary Professor Donald McGavin, on tissue fixation. Thank you, Don! And as it is already a tradition, I want to close this message highlighting our great Volunteer Appreciation Campaign organized by Dr Rafaela De Negri (thank you Rafa!!!). Remember that all the activities of the Foundation are done by volunteers, and they are the pillars of our organization. Please thank them warmly any time you have the pleasure to interact with them. This month we celebrate Dr Jeann Leal, one of our outstanding newsletter managing editors. Thank you and congratulations, Jeann! Looking forward to seeing you in one of our training activities.
