We have a lot of work ahead of us, but I'm delighted that people are trying to, to use this to feel better. And we're learning so much from it as we go, which is what's spectacular.

What is that North Star? What I think is so interesting is when something teaches you beyond your level of education and experience. So I'm 54 now and I've been doing medicine for a long time. I've been doing research for a long time. you don't get easily impressed. Something has to really be like, wow.

That's right. I think you start cynical and you get more cynical over time, right? And so I think what is interesting about this is therapeutically, we think, hey, this is really cool that we can take these things out. But what I think is the next most important value proposition scientifically is what is it that we're taking out? So here's a very good example. In the cancer space, so we know that

Well, as you know, because you've done a lot of work in this space, there's no free lunch in biology. So if you are going to attack, you cannot defend.
