Amazing #KidneyWk run

A @freelyfiltered.bsky.social podcast taping, in full Texas glam. #NephJC #KidneyWk

I might have a new career in industry, but another #KidneyWk calls for another Kidney Week Run Club! From now on it will be organized by @nephjc.bsky.social (basically @kidneyboy.bsky.social). Saturday morning, 6:30 am, Discovery Green. 3 miles + change.

Version 1 of my student’s paper is out today after a successful PhD thesis defense! Congratulations to Dr. Esther Liu! #sciencesky In @elife.bsky.social: G1 and G2 ApolipoproteinL1 modulate macrophage inflammation and lipid accumulation through the polyamine pathway doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

As we transition from spring to summer, my career is also entering a different season. For the first time since pre-K, I’m leaving academia! Packing up my office today was bittersweet. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to lead a lab and look forward to new adventures ahead! #academicsky

Much love to the dialysis nurses at the Jesse Brown VA. 🫶

Recording an episode of @freelyfiltered.bsky.social with @kidneyboy.bsky.social and @jenniejlin.bsky.social with special guests @alhkim.bsky.social Koyal Jain and Brad Rovin No surprises on what recent #NephJC study we are discussing 👑

Happy #worldkidneyday! Ellie and Clyde are doing their part to #sockittokidneydisease on behalf of the hundreds of millions of people living with kidney disease worldwide. #medsky #dogsofbluesky

Announcing the #NephJC internship, @nephjc.bsky.social and @kireports.bsky.social joining forces www.nephjc.com/intern-app for details and to apply! #NephSky

Clyde is being the goodest boy helping me edit a VA grant proposal as I wait to find out whether I am even allowed to submit it. Wild times in academia. #academicsky #sciencesky #dogsofbluesky

From American Heart’s IG. Kendrick Lamar is calling out revolutions and saving lives. 🎶Wop wop wop wop wop🎵

Despite today’s uncertainties, it’s good to take time to celebrate small victories and to appreciate the people who show up to fight the good fight for #science and #kidney health. Annual Lin Lab holiday dinner at Michelin-starred Esme (complete with “elevated” flaming hot Cheetos #iykyk)

Role for the #APOL1 G1 variant in hydrocephalus? Interesting finding with human correlation! One caveat is that Apoe KO mice don’t recapitulate athero (in non-coronaries) without diet stimulus + aging. I would like to see a study with high fat/salt Micky D diet. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hey, welcome to Bluesky @asnpublications.bsky.social

When I got recruited people told me, “Don’t worry, last time anyone didn’t get tenure was back in the big NIH cuts and they just couldn’t get funding, even tho they did great science.” Cold comfort…and warning that R1s don’t care about your science, teaching, or mentoring - just money. #academicsky

This is Gracie. She went for the most magical car ride last night. The whole world twinkled like it was excited to see her. 13/10

I like this one.

This is how you know you’ve hit middle age: it’s not when the music of your youth is played in grocery stores, but instead, when it is used to promote age-appropriate cancer screening. www.cologuard.com/getlow2 #medsky

Making Friday inpatient rounds at the Jesse Brown VA a little sweeter with treats from a local West Town bakery. #nomnom #nephsky #medsky

There is a metaphor here somewhere

Introduce yourself with your worst feedback from school 👇🏽 I’m Jennie. I read too many novels.

Best compliment from a patient in a while: “You’re really funny. You should do a SNL skit.”

I'm a big fan of sequential nephron blockade, including diamox, which I have used successfully many times. But as a reminder, the VAST majority of patients w/ADHF can be successfully decongested with adequate loop diuretic doses and adding thiazides when necessary #medsky #cardiosky

Wait, can Beyonce do #KidneyWk in Houston next? 😅

Aw jeez, not this again. According to this consultant, hospitals now *lose* an average of $304,312 per physician per year. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Guess it's time for another thread on budgetary gerrymandering.

Hey #nephrology #kidney peeps, societies, and journals: our cardiology friends have quickly mobilized to the other place 🦋 during #AHA24. Let’s join them?

Kidney societies and journals, our #CardioSky friends have rapidly mobilized to get started over here. Can #NephSky match their 🦋energy?

Andrew Kearney, a pre-med from my lab who hopes to become a physician-scientist, presents our preliminary functional work on #APOL1 risk variants and #obesity. #AHA24

She has arrived! #MedSky #NephSky

Delighted to host Dr. Christoph Kuppe for a Northwestern Feinberg Cardiovascular and Renal Research Institute seminar on spatial multi-omics of kidney and cardiometabolic disease! A visit to Gibson’s, a Chicago classic, was in order.

It's almost time for #AHA24!

This is pretty cool.

Bluesky is now the #2 social app in the US, Canada, and #3 in the UK 🦋 On bsky, ~30% of y'all are posters compared to the 1% main characters on other platforms. Turns out there's more chattiness & connection when you have algorithmic choice 🤭

1/15-Migrating w/updated publications Meet Hilda. I was one of her doctors. When she died, she left 2 sons behind. My grief about her situation brought anger and then determination. A #skeetorial on outcomes, advocacy, and policy in dialysis access for undocumented immigrants. #MedSky #NephSky

Inspired by @VijayanMD, I’m going to spend more time where the skies are blue and joyous. You can follow me over there (jenniejlin) for #MedSky #ScienceSky and #NephSky discussions, and catch some photos of my pups, of course!

Medicine Comics by Dr. Momen Abbasi 👻🎃 Some educational, some just for fun #nephrology #FOAMed nephsim.com/medicine-com...

when I say "I'm busy writing today" this is what I mean

It’s coming…

Welcome to all new #NephSky peeps The starter pack is being updated as people join, so check back and find more people to follow! go.bsky.app/H4td28C

ooh, like the good ol’ tweet deck! So, this could be good for #NephSky #NephJC chats… 👀🤓🙏

My pups and I have come here to say hello. We are all big fans of the kidney over here.

Highlights of my #KidneyWk (minus data slides). See you all again soon!

Congrats @fperrywilson and team on this #KidneyWk LBCT! A tremendous effort. My take: a Kidney Action Team would be helpful if we had better diagnostics + therapeutics for AKI; unfortunately our collective clinical toolbox for AKI remains sorely lacking.

A 💜 congratulations to @SusanQuaggin for being this year’s John P. Peters award recipient! She stands among giants as a leader and innovator and does so with so much grace and kindness, redefining the standard for this award. #KidneyWk
