On Friday night, November 7th, NephJC will be hosting another of its legendary NephJC Nights. This party has a long legacy going back to 2011 (see this post for a brief history of Blogger Night/NephJC Night).

This party is open to all, but you need to pay, as this is the primary fund raiser to keep the lights on at NephJC headquarters. If you have donated in the Fall Fund Drive you are invited and tickets will be mailed to you soon. If you have not donated, well it’s time to pony up. If you have the funds to get yourself to Houston for Kidney Week but don’t have $50 to support NephJC, send us an e-mail and plead your case. We are a bunch of softies and will send you a ticket.

This year the party is being hosted by Paresh Jadav at his home outside of Houston. Paresh is a long time NephJC advocate; read for yourself in his own words:

My nephrology career began with a fourth-year medical school elective in nephrology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. Subsequently, I completed an internal medicine residency at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine, including a year as chief resident, followed by nephrology fellowship training at the University of Washington in Seattle and a transplant fellowship at Columbia University in New York. I am currently a full-time faculty at the University of Texas McGovern Medical School in Houston, as a transplant nephrologist.
Social media had remained largely under the radar for me until a colleague introduced me to the NephJC journal club in 2019. I enthusiastically joined Twitter (now X), and it has since profoundly changed the way I view medical education.
It has been an eye-opener to witness the limitless potential of educational expressions through platforms like NephJC, NephSim, NephMadness, GlomCon, and NSMC. Kudos to the entire NephJC team. Beyond educational content, it also offers astounding opportunities for research collaborations and networking. I envision such platforms becoming the norm rather than the exception. My year as an NSMC intern was an amazing experience, allowing me to learn these tools firsthand. I will never forget my first participation in NephMadness—and actually winning it—bragging rights forever as a rookie winner!

We will have a shuttle running from the covention center to Dr Jadav’s house on Friday night. We will have drinks (Margarita bar!) and food (TexMex!).

The line up currently has NephJC Kidney Awards, Freely Filtered Live recording, with plans for additional fun. Please save the date and plan on coming to NephJC Night.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you at NephJC Night in Houston.
