On Friday night, November 7th, NephJC hosted the latest in its series of 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).
After a bit of chaos with the hired bus we arrived at Paresh Javad’s amazing house. The food, margaritas, cowboy hats and music were great. After the audience was well lubricated, the Filtrate assembled for the annual ASN #KidneyWk draft with two special guests, Brian Rifkin and Anna Gaddy.

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!
