In the final stretch of my PhD thesis on nests, I keep thinking about this pigeon's masterpiece. It doesn’t have to be perfect, just done. Let’s do this! 🐦🪶

#PhD #PhDsky 🧪
A pigeon sitting beside its simple nest—just a few twigs, nothing fancy, but it works. One egg rests inside, soon the city will welcome another little pigeon to its flock.

Why are people not interested in pursuing nephrology?

More navel gazing, this time from Europe

academic.oup.com/ckj/advance-...

In CKJ, > 1000 sample from 28 countries

Maybe we should stop trying to attract people who are not easily interested in the beans? (Sour grapes alert!)
The status of nephrology in European countries and the factors influencing the choice of nephrology as a career speciality. The elements that affect the decision of a recent medical graduate to choose a specific career. The opinions on the reasons why medical graduates have an unfavourable opinion on choosing nephrology. The perceived methods that would encourage more medical school graduates to choose nephrology as a career.
