But

If you forced people to really think about this and like, okay, what is the most credible pathway to doing this?

And what are the barriers to that credible pathway?

Then we sort of got somewhere, right?

They were like, well, like there's no shared tools or we're not working on big projects and building the right data sets.

And we're like, okay, well, then we can start doing something about that.

And so that's where the idea of building shared tools, because no one right now in the site.

Well, I'm curious how you guys think about it.

But for us, when we looked at the grand challenges on the 10 to 15 year time horizon, it needs to be like, when you look at it, you're like, I see a path.

Not everything needs to be solved for us to take it on.

In fact, if everything's solved, then that feels like that should just go.

Yeah, like we have some risk appetite, right?

So we want things where we're like, there's a credible pathway, someone who is at the helm who can do this.

And there's enough ambiguity where we feel like we could take on that risk.

And if we do it, like the returns could be higher than even expected.

And the way we modeled that in the biohubs is we have three biohubs.

We have one in San Francisco, one in Chicago, one in New York.

The one in New York works on cell engineering.

Can we engineer cells to go in and detect signals, read it out, or to take certain actions?

In Chicago, we're building tissues and looking at cell communications within tissues.
