Happy to share that I lunched the new LinkedIn educational AIMED platform linkedin.com/company/the-5m… The weekly 5-minute read on AI principles. I hope our community finds it useful, especially our trainees.@RoshanPGeorgeMD @MedEdMahan @DrDarcyW @CabitbolZyx @slgold777 @DDD_Askenazi @mdefrei13 @KimReidy2 @NeonatalKidney @ASPNeph @AspnResearch @AdvocacyAspn @IPNA_PedNeph @ASNKidney @AmerAcadPeds @AAMCtoday @NeomindAi @AWS_Edu @nationwidekids @LLUMedSchool @LLUChildrens @LeBonheurChild @StanfordAILab @AlexU_Edu_Eg

Eid Mubarak to all Muslims around the world. Today we celebrate the completion of a blessed month of fasting, discipline, prayer, reflection, and sincerity before Allah. Ramadan reminds us that fasting is not only about refraining from food and drink, but about honesty, patience, self-restraint, compassion, and doing more good for others. It teaches us to feel the pain of those who struggle, to remember the poor, to give with open hearts, and to strengthen our relationship with our Creator through worship and sincere deeds. On this blessed day, we celebrate with gratitude, humility, and joy. We celebrate the spiritual growth, the quiet prayers, the hidden acts of kindness, and the mercy of being given the opportunity to draw closer to Allah. My prayer today is for the whole world. May this Eid bring peace, love, mercy, and healing to all people, across all races, nations, continents, and religions. May peace prevail in every heart and every land. May we live together in harmony, dignity, and mutual respect, always striving to do what is best for humanity. Eid Mubarak. May Allah accept from us all and bless the world with peace

@MatrixMysteries Can’t agree more

Ever wonder why you can eat bread, pasta, and cheese every day in Europe — and still feel better than you do in America? It’s not about eating less. It’s about eating food that isn’t poisoned. Here are 11 American foods banned in other countries:🧵 1. Bread (made with Azodicarbonamide)

Few hours till the conclusion of the @PASMeeting. This was an absolutely wonderful meeting. The Peds Nephrology Program was very robust and we all learned alot from each others presentations and experiences. Thanks to the @ASPNeph Program Committee lead by Katherine Dell @cwru @CWRUSOM @ClevelandClinic for great leadership and for all the tremendous work she and the committee put into this program. #pas2025

@PASMeeting is almost coming to its final hours and we learned a lot and got to connect and meet great colleagues from many subspecialties from all around the world. Many thanks to @ASPNeph Program Committee lead by Katherine Dell @CWRUSOM @ClevelandClinic. The #PAS2025 is an absolute success

Congratulations @DDD_Askenazi on receiving the @NeonatalKidney Founder Award. David has established the AWAKEN database in 2014 and since then the neonatal Nephrology community has grown tremendously and has continued to contribute to improving neonatal kidney health. David has played a pivotal role in this tremendous growth, driving ongoing contributions to improving neonatal kidney health. Congrats again @DDD_Askenazi

@kidneytweets @PASMeeting @ASPNeph Absolutely hilarious

A lot of AI activities @ the @PASMeeting . We are very excited about the first Pediatric Nephrology AI session. Come join us on Sunday @ASPNeph @AriPollak @LLUChildrens @LLUHealth

Bro knows something we don’t know about peanuts.

@elonmusk people shouldn’t go after something that is good for environment even if we have different opinions and ways of doing things. Maybe we can encourage each other to do the right thing by continuously supporting the good regardless of agreements and disagreement. Also time to support real meaningful medical research especially in childhood diseases

True

Wellness cannot be delivered from the top down. It must be built from the ground up—from physicians, trainees, nurses who are living the stress daily. We need to recognize the real sources of burnout: Unfair compensation Invisibility of our non-billable work Overloaded schedules Unfulfilled promises of “support” A disconnect between institutional values & lived experience We are told we’re vital but we are expected to carry burdens without pause, without recognition, and without rest. So NO, a boxed lunch won’t fix burnout. A single “Wellness Week” won’t address years of moral injury. Real wellness is defined by those who need it. Until institutions are ready to ask and truly hear what that looks like, every effort will feel like more work We will one day embody wellness meaningfully but only when we, the physicians, the trainees have the voice & power to define it. Until then, we keep going & we hold space for each other.

I recently had an interesting conversation about “wellness.” What emerged was a shared, painful realization: most institutions have failed dramatically in creating true environments of wellbeing and failed to develop any meaningful metrics to assess whether wellness efforts are effective or even relevant. For many programs, wellness has become a checkbox, a requirement for ACGME reports, another item to list in compliance logs or accreditation surveys. It is often grouped in with other performative initiatives like JEDI that look impressive on paper but collapse at the first gust of reality. Is wellness a poster on the wall? A lunch hour? A required “resilience lecture” tacked on after back-to-back clinical duties? Is it another slogan, PDF, meeting you’re too burned out to attend? Real wellness doesn’t come from templates. It comes from trust, flexibility, & listening. I once had a conversation with my fellows after GME questioned why, as a director, I wasn’t organizing more “outside activities.” One of my fellows—juggling parenthood—spoke truthfully: “If we go to an outside event, it makes me feel worse. I’d have to find and pay for a babysitter just to sit through something that doesn’t restore me. My wellness would be having someone help clean the house once a month, or just an hour to take a walk.” Another said their wellness was simply having protected time without guilt. These are small, deeply human needs, yet, institutions often ignore them choosing instead to fund grand wellness campaigns that fail to ask what people actually need. The true cost of real wellness for trainees & faculty is often lower than what we spend on catered events & flyers—but we overlook it, because listening and adapting is harder than broadcasting. I tried once to put this into writing—to say what I just said now, clearly and directly. Of course, it went nowhere. It didn’t fit the wellness script. We will never achieve wellness until we stop treating it like a program & start treating it like a culture.

Lantana may be just a pretty flower to some, a lovely scent to others. To me, it means bringing a piece of “home” into my home. It carries memories of my dad & our family—of summer vacations in Egypt. In the end, things mean what we want them to mean. For me, Lantana is home.

Eid Mubarak to all Muslims colleagues and friends and all Muslims around the world. Yesterday at sunset we completed our fasting for the whole month of Ramadan. In these blessed days, I pray for the world to heal and peace to prevail.
