Fantastic article! We truly live in a 'golden age' of biotechnology as you describe. It's evident that we're on the cusp of many significant breakthroughs on a variety of fronts. However, as you rightly point out, the competitive nature of funding, especially in academia, remains a significant hurdle for early-career investigators (it's partly why I pivoted out). I wholeheartedly agree that a 'change of guard' is needed to ensure that more financial resources are allocated properly. I wish you the best of luck in your efforts, keep up the great work!
