@kimmythekidney @Ped_Neph @CatherineJ20 @MollyWongVegaRD @AkcanArikan @sjmswartz @LWCasey615 Congrats!

[Joey Alge @algejl]

@jbcarmody IMO research pathways during training strengthen & sustain the research pipeline, not prolonged fellowship for all. 1 extra yr of training doesn’t equip people for a career in biomedical research anymore than gen peds residency prepares one to provide 80% of subspecialty care.

[Joey Alge @algejl]

I can’t wait!

Don’t miss the #KidneyWk session on Type IV Collagen Conundrums: Friday at 10:30. Fabulous talks coming from @jfnephlolz @MoumitaBaruaTO @torra_roser and me!

[Joey Alge @algejl]

Just wrapped up my 1st week on the @archildrens inpatient peds neph service! I had a blast teaching our residents/students basic stoichiometry and renal physiology to debunk the AAP maintenance fluids guidelines (among other things). What’s your favorite topic to teach on?

[Joey Alge @algejl]

The Alge lab is officially hiring! I’m looking for a postdoc interested in basic and translational chronic kidney disease research focusing on uremic toxins. DM for details.

[Joey Alge @algejl]

Great review parsing out the nuances of albumin-mediated nephrotoxicity. We’ve learned a lot about the importance of modified forms of albumin, but there are a lot of unanswered questions.

[ASN Publications @asnpublications]

The role of albumin in kidney injury remains controversial. Is it a marker of advancing glomerular injury, a marker of proximal tubule injury and dysfunction, or a combination of both? This Perspective examines studies on the kidney toxicity of albumin https://t.co/MkHYGVKMst

Each night at dinner we ask our kids to tell us about two roses and a thorn from their day. Here are mine from week #1 @uamshealth and @archildrens.
🌹: amazing new mentors and collaborators
🌹: appreciating differences in clinical practice
Thorn: virtual training modules

@asouth_neph @NICHD_NIH @wakeforestmed @brennerhospital @AtriumHealthWFB @advocatehealth Fantastic! Congrats!

[Joey Alge @algejl]

Big day is today! After a 1 week delay due to my second bout with COVID (impeccable timing) I’m finally starting at Arkansas Children’s/UAMS. Couldn’t be more excited!

[Joey Alge @algejl]

@VelezNephHepato @BCMPedsRenal @NephroRock Thanks! I’m thrilled to join forces with @NephroRock and continue learning from him!

[Joey Alge @algejl]

I’m excited to share that I’m moving to Arkansas Children’s Hospital later this month. It’s been a privilege to work at Texas Children’s and @BCMPedsRenal. I’m sad to leave behind so many wonderful colleagues and friends in Houston, but I can’t wait to get started in Little Rock.

[Joey Alge @algejl]

@BCMPedsRenal @kimmythekidney I definitely felt the love with all the creativity & work that went into these little masterpieces.
Y’all are too funny, and I appreciate the nod to my research. Thank you. Not sure how I feel about the moniker “#mouseDad” though… have to work on that one. 😉

[kimmythekidney @kimmythekidney]

@itskidneysaenz crushing the first of many incredible presentations in peds nephro (and she hasn’t even started fellowship yet!! 🤯) ❤️

[Joey Alge @algejl]

@davidsas1 @naylorbmd Wait.. we’re supposed to reference other organs in our notes?

[Devika Bhushan, MD @DrDevikaB]

In contrast to other fields, academic med conferences happen on weekends—displacing rest & family time—& leaving people out

Toxic grind culture says: Clinicians are value-generating units first & can't be spared on weekdays

This *needs* to change 👏🏾 @PASMeeting @APApsychiatric

[Sarah Swartz @sjmswartz]

Changing the management of PH1 @ASPNeph @PASMeeting @BCMPedsRenal #ASPN23 #PAS2023

[Joey Alge @algejl]

I really enjoyed #APS2023 and will definitely come back next year. Great venue. Fantastic social events. Phenomenal science. I especially enjoyed the comparative physiology session. I never thought that the cardiovascular physiology of giraffes would be so fascinating!

[Joey Alge @algejl]

I have learned so much about circadian rhythm and kidney disease at #APS2023. It’s been a fantastic conference so far.

[Joey Alge @algejl]

@drjosflynn 🙌 And all 5 pm meetings!

[Joey Alge @algejl]

Congratulations @kimmythekidney! Such a well-deserved award. 👏 👏 👏

[BCM Pediatric Renal Fellowship @BCMPedsRenal]

Our super star fellow @kimmythekidney has made us proud again!! 👏👏
She is the recipient of @SocPedResearch PROSPER Award!🏆🎖
Congratulations Dr.Vuong and mentors @CatherineJ20 @AkcanArikan
