Like many, I'm faced with having to resubmit a well scored RO1 (8th%ile to NIDDK on proteinuric kidney dz multiomics) My question: Can/should I share the A0 percentile in the 1 page intro to resubmission? Or is there some rule/convention against this? I can just share supportive quotes too

Where to go for a nice post-NKF brunch with @ksusztak.bsky.social ? To a spot whose acronym they use for marketing represents what the two of us are trying to stamp out using #kidneyomics 🧬🫘

(2/2) The proctors were great & tried their best. But it's very upsetting to have this happen, especially as she specifically prepared to take the test today, knowing that she has all sorts of other things going on this spring. I hope that this can be resolved to the best extent possible

(1/2)😡My daughter sat for SATs today & the @collegeboard
SAT software froze halfway through a Reading module. By the time an AV expert arrived and got it to work on another computer, she had 16 seconds remain. After, she had to do a Math module in this state, which worked for some reason

A second measles death has now occurred (in New Mexico) in the ongoing outbreak. Weak and confusing messaging about the role of vaccination will only lead to more deaths. Vitamin A is not a substitute for vaccination - the MMR vaccine is the only reliable way to prevent measles. #IDSky #PedsIDSky

Second measles death reported in ongoing outbreak

An unvaccinated adult in New Mexico tested positive for the measles virus after their death, the state Health Department said.
