It's that time of year for #NephMadness! After creating hospital site-specific brackets, @uwnephrology.bsky.social gathered at Stoup Brewing to “battle out” #kidney topics and ultimately crown a champion. What a fun and educational annual event @ajkdonian.bsky.social @uwmedicine.bsky.social

The annual #NephMadnessParty in Tromso, Norway 🥳 Between kidney cookies, rhubarb drinks, and licorice, we agreed that CAR-T is this year's #nephmadness winner 🏆 #arctic-cart

Great Geisinger #nephmadness night! Note Kartik’s @kkalra.bsky.social virtual Madness bandanna. No one’s happy about our surprise dark horse winner - incremental dialysis!

My 1st #Nephmadness reading is done. Let’s create a new dialysis independent of functioning power and water systems. Today’s dialysis came from attempts to save people with war time crush injuries. Our past, present, and future is interdisciplinary. ajkdblog.org/2025/03/01/n...

I was featured in this episode and won for best answer! The next time I get down about applications and med school, I'm just going to listen to Dr. King saying that I'll be "undoubtedly a great healthcare professional some day in the future" 😭
