"PhD-level experts in your back pocket" is a completely nonsensical description of AI but a pretty good description of social media if you follow the right people

Each summer I have the privilege of helping risings MS2 students do kidney research. This years group got a special treat from Dr. Keisha Gibson who gave our welcome keynote lecture.

Our published work in a government journal curiously disappeared Several studies for a CDC journal were purged without explanation before a judge’s order restored them. That's unacceptable.

Melissa and I wrote about our research being purged... www.minnpost.com/community-vo...

Anxiously awaiting a hoped for NOA for an R25 to bring the goodness of kidney research to undergrads. Feel free to send thoughts, prayers, good vibes, well wishes…whatever you work with.

Do you know a MS1 in an accredited school in Florida? Do they want to do research (and get paid) next summer? Do they think kidneys are cool? I have ten spots in an NIH supported training program if you do....
