ASN urged the modernization of dialysis care and the expansion of access to innovative therapies at a @WaysandMeansGOP Health Subcommittee hearing on kidney health.
ASN Health Policy Scholar Suzanne Watnick, MD, FASN, called for earlier detection, prevention, and patient-centered care, plus stronger federal leadership and research investment.

"It's a novel idea to have tiny #organoids that respond in the same way that a #kidney would. You see #polycystic kidney disease materialize before your eyes. The cyst structures of the disorder can be seen in three dimensions." @benofreedman #nephtwitter

Incredible presentation from Dr Justin Bullock describing the use of QuantCrit to explore the relationship between stereotype threat and identity safety in medical education. #AMEE2025
Feeling safe with their identity reduces threat, but ‘threat mitigation’ efforts can actually backfire. Some subgroups like those who train abroad might experience threat and safety in varied ways—insights missed by traditional analyses.
