note = "Funding Information: After his military service, Tom wasted no time in pursuing formal academic training as he obtained his bachelor's (University of Arizona), master's, and Ph.D. (Washington State University) degrees during the span of just 6 years (1970–76). Tom's mentor was David Hinrichs, and his dissertation was in the field of infectious diseases immunology, titled, “Immunity to Coxiella burnetii: In Vitro and In Vivo Parameters”. After graduation, Tom completed a postdoctoral fellowship through the National Cancer Institute with Ron Herberman, a noted cancer immunologist involved in the early discovery of natural killer cells. Tom then studied Rickettsial diseases at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research while also an adjunct assistant professor in the microbiology department at the University of Maryland. By the 1980s, Tom became interested in the effects of alcohol consumption on host immunity. In 1987, he moved to the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, where he served as associate professor in the departments of pathology and microbiology. Four years later, Tom accepted a position as professor in the department of cellular biology and anatomy at Louisiana State University Medical Center in Shreveport, prior to returning to Washington State University in 1995, where he was Professor and Director of the Pharmacology & Toxicology Graduate Program in the College of Pharmacy. Tom was recruited to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in 1999, where he remained until his retirement in 2011. ",
