Longtime professor of anatomy, Dr. Tom Wronski, retires
Dr. Tom Wronski, an internationally respected expert in the area of bone, has played a groundbreaking role in osteoporosis research and taught scores of veterinary students about animal anatomy. He retired last month after 31 years on the UFCVM faculty. Members of the physiological sciences department and others gathered in the Biological Sciences Building’s Broad-Bussel Atrium to share memories and celebrate his career. Dr. Wronski is now a professor emeritus, so we expect to still see him around. We wish him all the best!
