Freely filtered is a twice monthly podcast (that is aspirational, not a promise) which discusses recent NephJC journal clubs. We also discuss other big events in the world of nephrology. Here are the members of the “filtrate”
Jennie Lin
She is @jenniejlin on Twitter, where she talks science, food, and dogs. As an “accidental” nephrologist and physician-scientist, she calmly marches to the beat of her own drum. She is an assistant professor at Northwestern University.
Joel Topf
Joel is the co-founder of NephJC and the host of Freely Filtered. He is @kidney_boy on Twitter. He is a private practice nephrologist in Detroit and an assistant clinical professor of medicine at Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine. Conflict of interest disclosure is here.
Swapnil Hiremath
Swap is also the co-founder of NephJC and a filtrate on Freely Filtered. He is @hswapnil on Twitter, where he argues with random strangers who don’t read the supplementary data. He is a nephrologist in Ottawa, an associate professor at the University of Ottawa and an associate scientist at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute.
Jordy Cohen
Jordy is a filtrate on Freely Filtered. She is @jordy_bc on Twitter, where she can be found yelling at clouds about blood pressure measurement and immortal time bias. She is an assistant professor of medicine and epidemiology at UPenn
Josh Waitzman
Josh is a filtrate on Freely Filtered. He is @jwaitz on Twitter. He is an instructor at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, where he does biochemistry experiments in between seeing patients. He loves glomeruli, tight junctions, and toad bladders.
Nayan Arora
Nayan is @captainchloride on Twitter. He is an assistant professor at the University of Washington. His clinical interest and practice focuses on patients with cardiorenal syndrome. He is an ardent believer that while sodium gets all the press, chloride is the most important ion in the body. He is wrong.
Priya Yenebere
Priya is @PriRenalAKI on Twitter. She is a transplant nephrologist and assistant professor at Indiana University. Her clinical interests include psychosocial determinants of health and allograft outcomes. Like many nephrologists, she loves salt, water, and coffee and is constantly trying to find balance between the three.
Sophia Ambruso
Sophia Ambruso, better known as Sophie or Soph, (@sophia_kidney on Twitter) is an assistant professor and clinician educator at the University of Colorado and Denver VA. Her main passions are patient care and medical education. In medical education, her goal is to create a safe environment for inquiry and intrigue with the personal mission of making nephrology cool for her medical students and residents. Sophie prefers thinking about how epidemiology affects her patients rather than how to pronounce it.
Filtrate Emeritus
Matthew Sparks is @nephro_sparks on Twitter. You can also find him tirelessly working to ensure renal is erased from our memories and pushes for proper descriptions of the renin angiotensin system. He is an assistant professor, program director, and director of medical student research at Duke University and the Durham VA.
Samira Farouk is @ssfarouk on Twitter, advocating and teaching about transplantation and pushing the boundaries of learning with NephSIM. She is a transplant nephrologist, an assistant professor, and an associate program director at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
