When @weimbslab discovered that diet and lifestyle could alter the course of ADPKD, it transformed my family's life—and my own. Today, I’m thrilled to share my first contribution as both a scientist and patient, with the hope of helping others navigate this journey as well. ❤️👇.

Thank you, Kelly! 🙏 This paper is a reminder that negative data isn’t failure—it’s progress. What started as "can’t reproduce" turned into a story of persistence, the value of challenging assumptions, and the support of a wonderful team. Grateful to be part of this journey!.

Proud co-first author together with @dominique_gatti of this @J_Immunol publication in which we used a data-driven approach to highlight successes and challenges in EDI @CdnImmunol 👇🥳.
So proud of the @CdnImmunol (CSI) and the EDI Committee for letting us examine our historical data and analyze our successes and remaining challenges in EDI: Truly a model for how societies can move the cause forward by being data-driven and open. Kudos to all!
