I want to open up a store next door and call it RENIN

[Timothy Yau @Maximal_Change]

@eric_weinhandl @roondoctors @ssfarouk @edgarvlermamd @kidney_boy @captainchloride @Adjweinstein @Dan_Batlle @Nephro_Sparks This is a soft launch and eventually will be expanding to more. The NPI gate is one issue, but it also allows for a near complete removal of trolls/bots, which is what is driving people away from Twitter/Bluesky.

[Timothy Yau @Maximal_Change]

I'm excited to shift my nephrology professional circle to Roon - Twitter has changed dramatically and I've been inactive because of the noise. BlueSky never really took off for me.

Hope to see many of my nephrology friends, colleagues, and mentors on Roon to re-connect!

[Roon Doctors @roondoctors]

Nephrology is live on Roon!

Nephrology sits at the crossroads of clinical medicine, working closely with critical care, cardiology, transplant, hospital medicine, and many other specialties. Nephrologists guide everyday decisions on fluids, electrolytes, acid-base balance, blood pressure, and kidney complications across inpatient and outpatient care.

We are proud to launch with an outstanding group of Roon Founding Physicians, known for national leadership, guideline development, fellow education, and development of widely-used educational platforms. Their conversations on Roon focus on practical clinical reasoning and how to turn complex physiology into bedside decisions.

If you manage patients with kidney disease or are interested in learning from the top nephrologists in the country, this is a community worth being part of.

Obviously I’m being a bit hyperbolic here, but shouldn’t research be done by people who literally cannot help themselves. They think in p-values. They have hypotheses pouring out of their massive brains. Just like a surgeon only wants to be in the OR doing surgery. Instead, we have an army of pre-meds, med students, and residents who feel an obligation to “do research” as a means to an end. Doesn’t make sense. What are we doing?

[Timothy Yau @Maximal_Change]

@AnnaGaddy Always a pleasure to talk to superstars like the three of you!

@DGlaucomflecken I vote pequods. If you are a meat lover and don’t mind the calories, the Italian sausage pizza from Gino’s east has an ENTIRE PATTY of sausage as a topping in between the cheese and the sauce layer.

🧵regarding the introducer sheath commonly known as a 'Cordis' catheter.

We'll go over what it was originally designed for and why it ended up being adopted by other specialties for entirely different reasons.

Also we'll look at its accessories and see what's inside one.

The Bud Rose Endowed Lecture at #KidneyWk by my friend and mentor @NephRodby. Starting with the history from the early days of internship all the way to the inception of @BookBurton podcast. So well deserved!

Arrive early to this often SRO fun and challenging clinical session where 4 experts present two unknown cases each. The audience gets to answer questions during each case. Will you get them correct? Sat 2:00PM Ballroom 20D #KidneyWk @KidneyBea_n @VelezNephHepato @Maximal_Change
