At the #PodocyteConference you don’t meet only great scientists, but also interesting personalities, like Brian Kennedy, 4-times Grammy award winner and patient advocate. With Matt Sampson & Elena Martinelli

More from my recent trip to Ghana: this is Sankofa.
In Akan means "to retrieve" or "go back and get it" and it is an invitation to learn from your past to build a better future.
Learning from the past makes us who we are now. Straightforward? Current events do not indicate we are doing it well...

Just came back from an intense trip to Ghana, visited Dr. Dowmoa Adu in Accra and learned a bit of history of West Africa. This is Duafe, the symbol of beauty. It's a comb but looks a lot like our podocyte :)
