About NephSpace
Why NephSpace exists, what you will find here, and who makes it.
Why NephSpace
I want to stay informed. I want to know what's new in my field. But that means logging in to one site after another and working through dense material. It's an effort.
So I take the easy path. I end up doomscrolling on the couch, updated on everything that does not matter.
What if the nutritious stuff were just as easy to reach, and actually engaging? NephSpace brings the new kidney research and specialty news together in one place, in our own words and with links to the originals, made for the couch, a run or the drive to work. Informed and entertained at the same time.
Let's transform scroll time into learning time.
What you'll find here
- Stories: the papers and news worth your time, each in a short piece: the question, what was found, why it matters, and what it doesn't prove.
- Episodes: a weekly literature update, plus Deep Dive episodes in between. Two hosts talk each pick through the way colleagues would.
- Topics: everything sorted by area, from dialysis to glomerular disease.
The aim is to be curious, evenhanded and never condescending, for nephrologists, nephrology fellows and everyone in kidney care.
