I’m happy to announce the 6 month results from the SECOND @UNOSNews policy surrounding the elimination of Black race to diagnose and manage kidney disease. This policy required all US transplant centers review their waitlists and modify time for qualifying Black individuals.

>2,100 research projects funded by the NIH were terminated in 2025...In this comment, patients, care partners, and scientists share our perspective about what's at stake...and why advocacy is essential to our path forward @natureportfolio.nature.com @apha.org @aclu.org www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Like Dinushika said, “I am so proud to have been part of this fight for science and justice with each of” my coauthors.

Please share widely—across your networks, social media, and any space where this work can spark change.

Not sure how to help? Start by reading our article. Then share it. Talk about it. Use your voice and your platform to keep this momentum going.

While new therapies and treatments offer hope to some, we must keep pushing for innovation that reaches everyone.

Now it’s on all of us to protect the light. To advocate. To amplify. To fund the research that protects the health of our communities.

Thank you, Susan Allison, editor of Nature Reviews Nephrology, for your steadfast support of research that improves the lives of all people living with kidney diseases—especially those impacted by APOL1-mediated kidney diseases.

Thank you, Dr. Dinushika Mohottige, for holding and protecting the light in the darkest hours. Your leadership, courage, and coalition-building were essential. We are here because of your unwavering commitment.

Just published! Our latest article in Nature Reviews Nephrology is now live:

Happy Women’s History Month Joy

It’s what I can do. If everyone starts to cancel their account, it will help. It takes courage and a willingness to work for what you believe is right.

Which I could watch but I’m boycotting MSNBC and I canceled my Comcast cable subscription on behalf of Joy Reid, Alex Wagner, Katie Phang and you.

Happy #internationalwomensday !!! Don't let the patriarchy get you down. We outchea!

Thanks. I agree about MSNBC, but this is the power I have. If everyone did it do you think it would help? I do.

Me, too. Agreed. I’m rarely furious, but I am. I canceled Comcast and I am boycotting MSNBC, except Rachel on Monday - and I’m still on the fence about that.

I’m saddened @ furious about the @joyannreid cancellation. I’m boycotting MSNBC and cancelling Comcast until Joy Ann is back in my life. You’re an ally, so I will only watch your show on Mondays. While I relished the lineup from Nicolle on, these are actions I can take to register my disapproval.

I stand with @joyannreid.bsky.social. Never done this before. Boycotting until she is back in my life.

The outpouring of support has been overwhelming and incredibly moving. 💙

The @katiephangshow.bsky.social will air until Saturday, April 19th! So until then, if you can, please continue to tune in and watch.

I’m always grateful for the privilege of your time.

@joyannreid.bsky.social you inspire me. Thx. While I’m not worried about you - because worry is not a strategy - I am boycotting MSNBC, which I love, until you are back in my life on a regular basis. So take a breath and then get busy - because that’s what we do. Soon it’ll be “MS-who?” Be inspired!

Ask folks to check out your post on Bluesky. Make the post novel and completely differ so it’s worth to signup and bring their network. BTW, I know what you mean.
