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.

Honored to be part of the Damon Runyon community and to receive this funding to perform life changing cancer research. Thank you my mentors @mvhlab.bsky.social and @transactivator.bsky.social for their continual support. @mitboston.bsky.social @utswtxid.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

Am I more happy to be running the GCMS with @edreesrashan.bsky.social y.social or that Christmas is in 21 days? @mvhlab.bsky.social sky.social

Fascinating lessons on creativity in science from @itaiyanai.bsky.social and @nightsciencepod.bsky.social. Highly recommend the podcast for scientists and non scientists alike!

Hi Bluesky! We will introduce ourselves to this community by highlighting some papers from this past year. And also some lab fun along the way! Stay tuned! Look forward to interacting with you all!
