My newest piece on Disability Media Wire about the possibility that unos will break its promise to living organ donors. disabilitynewswire.net/urgent-opportu…

Waiting for an unambiguous, direct, public statement from unos guaranteeing that EVERY LIVING ORGAN DONOR will do just as well under the "continuous distribution" framework under consideration as they would under the system now in place. exploretransplant.org/will-unos-brea…

Here’s my piece in STAT on the recent kerfluffle about the proposed new UNOS framework to change the way organs from deceased donors are distributed. I discuss issues of policy as well as mis-steps in communication with the living donor community. tinyurl.com/2p8kj8ve

My piece in today's The Kansas City Star, advocating for Congress to adopt the Living Donor Support Act to encourage and support living organ donors. 17 people die every day on the organ transplant waiting list. This legislation would help save lives. kansascity.com/opinion/reader…

Terrific new piece by Sally Satel in National Affairs on the longstanding issues that brought us today's opioid crisis. Sad, powerful story.

Honored to present (virtually) a Living Donor's Perspective at this important session at World Congress of Nephrology. My main point: Even in the United States, with all our resources, giving away a kidney is not financially neutral

Looking forward to joining my Goldstein cousins for Organ Donation Shabbat at Beth El Synagogue in Omaha this weekend. It will be an honor to speak on this important topic! Shabbat shalom. omahajewishpress.com/news/beth-el-s…

My piece on the newly introduced Living Donor Protection Act on @exploretransplant - and why I believe we need to do more! exploretransplant.org/living-donor-p…

My recent post on @ExploreTransplant questions the value of a new tool to help potential kidney donors assess their own risk of hypertension post-donation. Could it do more harm than good? exploretransplant.org/a-living-donor…

Always happy to hear from my good friend and kidney colleague Sally Satel. She makes some excellent points in this gripping podcast.

I was delighted to talk with Al Roth, the Stanford economist who received the Nobel Prize in part for his work on market design relating to kidney exchange, about this ethical dilemma in living kidney donation: marketdesigner.blogspot.com/2023/07/kidney…

Very pleased with this piece about the cost of living kidney donation - and what the government can do about it! statnews.com/2023/08/04/kid…

Getting reading to speak at American Society of Nephrology #KidneyWk on the barriers to living organ donation. #Kidneytoshare

Until the U.S. addresses the extreme concentration in the infant formula industry, the country is just one plant closure away from empty shelves. trib.al/Y9kUsIJ

It was an honor to co-author this piece with Rep. Rosa DeLauro. I learned about the baby formula shortage firsthand when I joined the struggle to help feed our newborn twin grandsons in the midst of the infant formula shortage.. statnews.com/2024/05/02/pre…

Another barrier to living kidney donation. We could do so much better! exploretransplant.org/why-seeing-a-t…
