Thanks to Julie Inglefinger for this enlightening summary at ASN KidneyCure Week!

Spreading the word about the Importance and Power of Podocytes at @asnkidney.bsky.social Kidney Week in Houston. @isgd.bsky.social

Just attended a terrific meeting on Alport Syndrome So many talented experts in the room + the most involved patients. And so much hope for progress towards new treatments.

It’s always a special evening when having a yakitori dinner with former Japanese postdocs in Tokyo. @washunephrology.bsky.social

To add insult to potential injury, this morning on The Today Show, @nbcnews.com showed the city of Brentwood, CA in the San Francisco Bay Area as threatened by fire, rather than the neighborhood of Brentwood in LA. Is this because of AI or LoI (Lack of Intelligence)?

Actually, I joined Twitter 12 years ago. Not X. It’s been a good run. Time to (gradually) move on.

Happy Holidays from the Miner Lab et al.!

For all those who left X, a copy and paste:

Congratulations, Hassan Saei! It was an honor to be on your PhD defense jury. I can't think of a better reason to go to Paris. Your work on ADTKD and #AlportSyndrome is first-rate! I look forward to seeing you at a conference in the future.

Thanks to uber-kidney geneticist Corinne Antignac for the tour of the Institut de France (the French NAS equivalent). I always wondered what that building was.

Experiment of the Day. A gluten-free healthy accompaniment for Turkey Day. Happy Thanksgiving!

I love the new iOS calculator. It shows you the operations you did and can invoke the scientific calculator option.

So thankful for my incredible lab staff, trainees, and matrix biology friends and collaborators. (and for delicious San Diego ramen, too!) #ASMBeThankful @amsocmatbio.bsky.social

It’s the dawn of a new day! Greetings from Saint Louis, Missouri!
