Congratulations to Dr @BryceBarr9 on successfully defending his Master of Science thesis proposal defense! Special shoutout to committee members Drs. Lisa Lix, @NavTangri & @MarkCanney
Our @ASNKidney AI Community Forum is now live and was just featured in ASN In the Loop @asnpublications today!
This is a major step forward — proudly led by our ASN AI Steering Committee, and aligned with our recent projects focused on building collaborative ecosystems in kidney AI. @kdpsinghlab@NavTangri
The forum is designed to bring together clinicians, researchers, data scientists, and industry partners to exchange ideas, foster innovation, and accelerate the responsible integration of AI in nephrology.
📢 Please join us, explore the discussions, and invite your friends and colleagues to be part of this exciting movement. 😊🙏🏻#AI
🔗 Let’s build the future of AI in kidney care — together.

Canadians with hypertension who spoke a non-official language at home were less likely to experience a major adverse cardiovascular event when they received care from a physician who spoke their language. https://t.co/cWNVkFQgRe @navtangri
Wonderful to meet up with my good friend Navdeep Tangri at #ISNWCN in New Delhi. Thanks for a great presentation and for pushing the envelope in precision kidney care
Having Rolex-owning, bespoke 3-piece suit wearing, Maserati-driving @theJagmeetSingh as NDP leader is like a carnivore leading a vegan party or an animal abuser leading the SPCA.
When I first read the tweet from @Tablesalt13, I could not quite believe it. So, I cross-checked the figures. They were right.
Even if you use the much more generous Labour Force Survey, population growth (via immigration) has massively outstripped employment.

#ISNWCN
Kidney disease is a global health challenge, affecting millions. The ISN applauds Guatemala's leadership in prioritizing kidney disease as a global health issue. Together, we can ensure better access to care for all.

Overall, older people facing kidney failure needed an average 13% absolute survival benefit at two years (maybe equivalent to a year's life extension) to tolerate three hospital dialysis sessions a week... 1/2
The ISN successfully hosted its first Consensus Meeting on Changing Paradigms of Studies in CKD this weekend in Vancouver, 🇨🇦. The PARADIGM meeting marks a significant milestone in advancing discussions around innovative approaches to CKD research.

We got a very stark reminder of the fact that accuracy in a population is not the same as accuracy in an individual today, courtesy of a @jama_current study which suggests - not explicitly but still - that "polygenic risk scores" are kind of bullshit.
Brief explainer in this thread.
