We test heavier in certain areas because we know the virus presence is greater.
So it's really all of those tools that we've put together and shared with one another that's been all the difference in the success of us battling this pandemic.
If I try to synthesize it into a statement, I think that what we're creating here is the most efficient, comprehensive ecosystem to translate discovery into advancing human care.
And that's quite a statement.
But we already had the largest set of minds here.
that are researching advancements in care and also practicing them every day.
But what we didn't have is all the pieces together, which is we have clinical, we have research, we didn't really have the investments here, we didn't have industry here, and we also didn't have manufacturer here.
And so those three areas are what we're putting really our full court press, if you will, on this, that we're really putting all of our investments into
building out this new TMC3 campus, this 40 acre campus, and it's already underway.
So every day I'm watching cranes go up and buildings come up.
So that's very exciting.
We have all of our industry leaders in research here on this campus that are actually designing their labs together, which is really exciting rather than independent from one another.
We've got industry.
We're building buildings for industry to be side by side by our researchers.
So that's terribly exciting.
We have huge investment coming in from industry.
We're building out an entire park system.
There's six parks in the middle, each one larger than a football pitch.
And so greening of our new campus is really exciting and a really important part, equally as important as the labs we build.
And we're building a manufacturing campus that will be able to house all of the things that we've needed in this pandemic.
