Editing a proof this morning and the copy editor wants me to call it ‘kidney tubular acidosis’ rather than ‘renal’. Am I right to push back?

- Even at my age, getting an NIH ‘not discussed’ on a grant you thought was great is a punch in the gut- for younger folks, remember to take as a challenge, not a defeat!!
- In view of the recent new information on salt, potassium, blood pressure, and mortality, @PAWellingMD and I today published our insights into salt and blood pressure. We show how new findings complement, but don't disrupt, more traditional underpinnings.
- We are pleased our paper, with Yujiro Maeoka, is published in @HyperAHA, showing the MRAs cause natriuresis in mice lacking aldosterone by blocking glucocorticoid binding to MR in kidney. This is why MRAs treat resistant HTN even when aldo is not elevated.
- Replying to @GlassockJ @JanSlapeta and @Sydney_UniSome of the lectures I attended are ones I remember 30 years later. Being in the presence of brilliant scientists who were great communicators was always inspiring. You can’t replace this!
- Outstanding Post-Doc opportunity now @OHSUNephrology to study cardiorenal medicine, with a focus on aldosterone, WNK kinases, edema, and HTN. Bench focus but strong translational opportunities. Excellent success of prior trainees! DM or email. Please RT.
- This is vitally important and should not be seen as antagonistic to the parallel need to teach students about social determinants of health. We need to produce all kinds of physicians!
- Serious science being discussed at the APS summit despite the smiling faces.
- Wonderful dinner with our group and the Gamba/Castaneda-Bueno groups at #KidneyWk 2022. Great to be back FTF!
- Tom Carroll standing up for the importance of the kidney interstitium in normal function and disease #kidneycamp
- Two recent developments confuse me rounding in hospital; every house officer now has their water bottle at all times (see pix) and when did all caregivers start wearing scrubs 24/7?
- Such an inspiring person & scientist and one of the best lecturers I have heard!APS Renal Section Gottschalk distinguished lectureship starting now in Ballroom! Felicidades Gerardo @gerardo_gamba and introduced by Juan Pablo @HotSaltsRock @AJPRenal #APS2024
- Visiting the great Shih-Hua Lin in Taipei and taking a break from discussing Gitelman syndrome and NCC.
