Translational researcher, nephrologist, and head of the Oregon Clinical & Translational Institute. I am naturally skeptical, but always open to reason.

Some forward thinking science foundation should announce a competition to be held in 2029 to fund early career scientists who did not publish **any** of their postdoc work in journals. Inspire them to not just preprint but come up with new ways to communicate and encourage use of their work.

I wrote this story because the state of the nation and the world stopped making sense to me, and my iPhone addiction only made things worse. I craved connection to the eternal, to the old codes and promises, to world without end. And I found it. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

@awgaffney Is that what we do for folks who are sick? They are why I went into medicine.

So sorry to hear this!

We are heartbroken to announce that Prof (Stephen) Ben Walsh, died peacefully on 30th Sept while surrounded by family & friends. Both his family & @RenalUCL are raising funds to find a way to honour his memory and achievements. More info below: justgiving.com/page/in-memory… Ben's passion for science & medicine was an integral part of who he was. And after self-diagnosing with lung cancer 18 months ago, he decided keep his condition private to protect his clinical and academic work. Remarkably Ben continued to work throughout his illness, right to the very end, ensuring that his students, colleagues and patients were taken care of, and that all he had built would continue on. There are no words to really express the profound sadness we feel, the loss of a dear friend, colleague and mentor. He will leave a very large hole in our lives and he will not be forgotten. Details of funeral/memorial services will be made available in due course. We're also requesting anyone with pictures or videos of Ben to upload these to the Google Photos or Dropbox links below. We've also attached a link to a Google Doc for messages of condolence you may wish to leave for the family. Google Photos: photos.app.goo.gl/PBQUdUHc6f1fys… DropBox: dropbox.com/request/6tiIZ7… Google Doc for condolences: docs.google.com/document/d/1wG… Donation Page for Memorial Fund: justgiving.com/page/in-memory…

If that were true, I would need to scan every published paper. Instead I peruse top journals in my field. Impact is important.
Prof. Nikolai Slavov@slavov_n

@ItaiYanai I think very differently. Discovery, mentoring, teaching, the success of my students, and many other things are far more rewarding for me. Also, I place more confidence in my (and community's) evaluation of a research article than in journals. blog.slavovlab.net/2014/12/17/exc…

When corrected for BSA, CG is pretty good!
Anitha Vijayan@VijayanMD

@NephJC eGFR less than 30 based on C-G equation? C-G equation is to estimate Cr Cl not eGFR #nephjc. Were nephrologists involved in the study design?
