Happy to announce that I was awarded a pathway to independence award (K99) from the NCI/NIH today to work on studying whole-body metabolism driving cancer cachexia. None of this would be possible without support from @damonrunyon.org, @transactivator.bsky.social and @mvhlab.bsky.social.

Hot take - peer reviews should be replaced with A.I. Less subjective reviews, less waiting for the authors, more cost- and time-effective for journals
