For the last five years, NephJC has awarded the most meritorious people (and one manuscript) in #NephTwitter. Every September we seek out nominations for the 7 categories. Well it is the last day of October, and we haven’t gotten around to the nominations. But a global pandemic can throw off any timetable. We are here now. So please take a moment and nominate a person or manuscript right now. If you don’t want to use the google form, you can just tweet your nomination with the hashtag #NephJCKidneys.
The categories:
Article of the year. What was the most important manuscript of 2021? Is it the FIGARO/FIDELIO twins showing finerenone can slow the progression of DKD?
