Peds Nephrologist at Nationwide Children's Hospital. Trying to redefine idiopathic nephrotic syndrome and discover new therapies
Pediatric nephrology is currently facing a shortage of physicians and unfilled fellowship positions. In this month's #ASNKidneyNews, one resident shares their perspective. kidney.pub/KN1710-05
Finally, someone has solved a real problem with AI! No more having to take a paper in the format for a journal that rejected you, and reformat it for a new journal. Well done!! formatmypaper.com
