After Brooklyn College’s cancellation of JC Live, we are moving to a new venue in Manhattan. We are grateful for the outpouring of support we've received, and we'll update with more details soon. In the meantime, register at https://t.co/U6M2LkWmwH. We'll see you on September 15.

[Eli Valley @elivalley]

Is this cancellation getting coverage in every media outlet in the country?

Another barrier to living kidney donation. We could do so much better! https://t.co/cjBxPYvXG6

It was an honor to co-author this piece with Rep. @rosadelauro. I learned about the baby formula shortage firsthand when I joined the struggle to help feed our newborn twin grandsons in the midst of the infant formula shortage.. https://t.co/otltRwUkfJ

[STAT @statnews]

Until the U.S. addresses the extreme concentration in the infant formula industry, the country is just one plant closure away from empty shelves. https://t.co/4jvIMD7ayJ

Getting reading to speak at @ASNKidney #KidneyWk on the barriers to living organ donation. #Kidneytoshare

Very pleased with this piece about the cost of living kidney donation - and what the government can do about it! https://t.co/ck2Q6mXbcl

[Martha Gershun @mgershun]

I was delighted to talk with Al Roth, the Stanford economist who received the Nobel Prize in part for his work on market design relating to kidney exchange, about this ethical dilemma in living kidney donation:

@bogiperson Wonderful news! Mazel tov!

[Martha Gershun @mgershun]

Always happy to hear from my good friend and kidney colleague @Slsatel. She makes some excellent points in this gripping podcast.

[Sally Satel @slsatel]

Everything you wanted to know about solving the organ shortage! Hint: compensate the donors https://t.co/B8wcZr3ToE

My recent post on @ExploreTransplant questions the value of a new tool to help potential kidney donors assess their own risk of hypertension post-donation. Could it do more harm than good?

My piece on the newly introduced Living Donor Protection Act on @exploretransplant - and why I believe we need to do more!

Looking forward to joining my Goldstein cousins for Organ Donation Shabbat at Beth El Synagogue in Omaha this weekend. It will be an honor to speak on this important topic! Shabbat shalom.

Honored to present (virtually) a Living Donor's Perspective at this important session at @ISNWCN. My main point: Even in the United States, with all our resources, giving away a kidney is not financially neutral

[Martha Gershun @mgershun]

Terrific new piece by @slsatel in @NationalAffairs on the longstanding issues that brought us today's opioid crisis. Sad, powerful story.

[National Affairs @NationalAffairs]

Celebrate Spring with our new issue! Nicholas Eberstadt & Peter Van Ness on the stunning geographic variability in U.S. workforce participation, @slsatel on the history of the opioid crisis, Harvey Mansfield on conservatism and the common good, and more! https://t.co/d6CTvswON0
