I have blogged about Academic Women for Equality Now, my project for Vision 2020. As part of this project, I will be interviewing women of note in academia or who have things to say that affect us in some way. I am proud to start this series with Page Morahan, PhD, a successful microbiologist and former department chair who gave all that up to be founding director for the ELAM program for women leaders in medicine, dentistry, and public health. Click on over and enjoy her perspectives on what she has accomplished and what she plans to do (hint: she's not done improving the world for women).

In the meantime, if you know someone AWEnow should interview, make a suggestion in the comments or drop me an email to mail (at) awenow dot org.

How Kidneys Work illustrates the way the kidney first removes virtually everything in solution from the blood and then reabsorbs the 99% of the filtrate that it needs to stay balanced.

Today's post show how nephrologists, using two simple principles of general chemistry, attempt to replace kidney function- and achieve 10-15% of the clearance of these glorious organs.
