It is more fun to be here in person rather than squares on a computer screen. #NKFClinicals
From toilet paper to canceled school this has distrusted everything. But nothing is more important than nearly a million people lost. Most chilling though has been the decrease in number of people receiving dialysis. #NKFClinicals
He calls for a moment of silence for the lives lost to #Covid_19 #NKFClinicals
Let the record show I did not tweet during the moment of silence. #NKFClinicals
People with kidney disease have not been recognized as a group of people deserving prioritization for vaccines and other hard to find therapies. #HelloEvusheld #NKFClinicals
Calling out an embarrassingly long list of disparities in nephrology.

He reports a satisfying rapid uptake of the new equation and urges people to agitate for change if your institution is not yet on board. #NKFClinicals
Though the old equation harmed minorities, the new equation will not fix all of these problems. We must recommit to address and eliminate the disparities negatively affecting Black, Hispanic, Native American and others who are affected. #NKFClinicals
Lack of awareness of kidney disease. The public knows more about erectile dysfunction than kidney disease. Talks about the campaign promoting the idea that 33% of Americans are at risk of kidney disease. #NKFClinicals

Living Donor Protection Act prevents donors from being fired for needing time off to donate. This is important. It is now law in more than 20 states. #NKFClinicals
The @nkf is going to start investing in early stage companies to help move the field forward. Wow. Is it weird for non-profits to invest in for-profit companies? #NKFClinicals
Shameful.
The NIH spends $100 on HIV for every $1 it spends researching kidney disease.
There are 1.2 million people with HIV in the US.
There are 37 million people with CKD in the US. #NKFClinicals
