Celebrated #PathologyDay by finishing up at #ACVP2019. So fortuitous that this year’s meeting coincided with both #NationalPathologyWeek & #InternationalPathologyDay. A great event, & lots of fun celebrating its 70th anniversary. Can’t wait for 71!

A Texan just asked me if ‘auf wiedersehen’ was how we say goodbye in England. #ACVP2019

Lovely evening at the #ACVP2019 President’s Reception. Good food, great desserts, chilled wine, and the best of friends.

Battle Tactics For Your Sexist Workplace Yes, your workplace is sexist.

One of the attendees at the pop-up pathology session at #ACVP2019 shared this great podcast resource for navigating workplace issues.

Great #mentoring advice at the pop-up pathology session at #ACVP2019

Joining in the fun pop-up pathology session at #ACVP2019 for women in pathology.

Enjoyed flying the flag for mentoring in my presentation this morning at #ACVP2019

Meanwhile, in ‘clinical pathology world’, the ASVCP shows how classy it is! Attendees beginning to arrive for the night’s event are greeted with a rather nice cocktail. #ACVP2019

As usual, the @cldavis_vetpath reception at #ACVP2019 quickly began to pack in the crowds. Always a popular one!

More volunteer work, this afternoon, at #ACVP2019. Our board exam’s TIWG spent a couple of hours evaluating exam Qs. Having been on the Exam Comm or it’s affiliated committees since 2006, I can assure our residents/exam candidates that we really care about the process.

My favourite newish event at our annual meeting is the community service project where we put together care kits for homeless shelters. This year, in honour of #VeteransDay, they’ll be helping homeless veterans. #ACVP2019

A great way to end #NationalPathologyWeek

Love catching up each year with Dr Jim Britt from the Vet Diagnostic Lab in Little Rock, AR @ARDeptofAgricul. My first US #VetPath mentor—spent a month with them in 1995, 3rd yr of vet school. I came over from the UK, thanks to a @cldavis_vetpath award. #ACVP2019

Finally caught up with everyone’s favourite #VetPath tweeter, @JRothenburger @ucalgaryvetmed! She’s busy running the @acvp Twitter account at #ACVP2019, but still had time to chat.

The community volunteer event is underway at #ACVP2019

Another great day at #ACVP2019 — lots of poster judging duties, networking events, & evening cocktails! A great way to celebrate #NationalPathologyWeek

Loving the new logo. Thanks for the little pins, @ACVP! Missed them last night because I’m old & had to retire early! 😂

#ACVP2019

Lots of good digital pathology stuff going on at #ACVP2019. Standing-room, only, for Dr Baras’ great presentation. Clearly, lots of interest. #aiReady @HopkinsMedicine

Don’t believe the stories about pathologists being nerds. (Well, ok, some of us...) Pathology rockers extraordinaires, AC/VP, did a fab job at the #ACVP2019 opening reception. Here’s a little of their version of Johnny Cash’s Folsom Prison Blues.

#NationalPathologyWeek

Equally proud of Christina Stevens (2nd year DVM @CSUVetMedBioSci) for her wonderful #ACVP2019 mentorship abstract & poster. Christina couldn’t be here, but Sabrina & I have been flying the flag & discussing it with attendees!

Important topic for #NationalPathologyWeek

So proud of Sabrina Waugh (2nd year combined DVM/MPH program @CSUVetMedBioSci) — great work on her #ACVP2019 mentorship abstract & poster, with lots of talking points to discuss with attendees.

An important topic to remember during #NationalParhologyWeek

A fabulous selection of vet student posters at #ACVP2019

The #ACVP2019 exhibit hall is officially open & swinging! Great food & plenty of bar stations. Priorities.

Mike Goldschmidt wrapping up the @cldavis_vetpath workshop talks with an overview of teat pathology in cats & dogs. #ACVP2019

Some really helpful guidelines for histological grading of canine mammary tumours, based on the new suggested standards.

@cldavis_vetpath #ACVP2019

Dr Peña discusses the importance of standardising criteria to improve diagnostic accuracy of benign vs malignant mammary tumours. In particular, the new standards set the mitotic count at ‘6 or more per 10 hpf’ for malignancy.

@cldavis_vetpath #ACVP2019

Now it’s Dr Laura Peña’s session at the #ACVP2019 @cldavis_vetpath workshop. She’s discussing the grading & criteria of malignancy in canine & feline mammary tumours.

Dr Valentina Zappulli has taken the helm at the @cldavis_vetpath workshop. She’s reminding us all about the diagnostic criteria for mammary tumours. #ACVP2019

Picked up my copy of the new @cldavis_vetpath Surgical Pathology volume 2! Looks as fab as Vol 1 is. If you want a copy of Vol 1 &/or 2, see Bruce to order—the 25% discount price will still apply if you order now! ($30 each, instead of $40). Amazing colour images.
#ACVP2019

Thanks for the coffee, @cldavis_vetpath! And even more thanks for diverting money to provide pathology education for vets in Zambia, in lieu of providing food at today’s workshop.

#NationalPathologyWeek goes international!
