Dr. Diego Bohórquez

The first thing is that I feel deeply honored by your invitation.

And thank you so much for the opportunity.

I am just simply a representative of the people that work in

with me and work with us.

You know, I'm just an ambassador and they get the majority of the credit for their dedication to help us understand a little bit more of the body and how it is help us to navigate the world that we live in.

So I want to thank you for the opportunity.

I want to thank the people that have made this possible.

Also like the people that are along the way or the institutions that are along the way have helped fund this endeavor.

You know, my home institution at Duke, I'm deeply grateful because my career has developed there.

And some of my mentors, Roger Little, Andrew Muir, and the people that have helped me along the way.

And then finally, I want to thank you and your team and congratulate you for the work that you do and that you have created this window for us to come and share with the public a little bit of the work

that we do.

Perhaps some of that is obviously based on evidence.

Some portion of that is thinking about the future.

But I do think that through maintaining the dialogue with the public, that we can continue to understand the world that we live in.

And for that, I have to thank you for having created this platform.
