Proud member of the #ASNTreks 2023 Cohort! Had a great time connecting with the history of Nephrology @MDIBL and looking forward to being part of its future with all of the great mentors and peers I’ve met along the way. Very thankful for the @ASNKidney’s commitment to trainees! – at Tamiami, FL
The @ASNKidney launched Kidney TREKS to stimulate interest in nephrology. This article discusses how this program improves interest in nephrology in the short term and increases the number of individuals going into nephrology careers bit.ly/JASN0384 @BIDMChealth

Our latest. We were surprised to uncover a role for ceramides in fuel choice of intestinal stem cells, a finding that could have implications for cancer risk. Kudos to Ying Li and @Bhagi43905530 for doggedly pursuing the mechanism. @uofunuip @UofUDMRC authors.elsevier.com/a/1hoBj…
