Yeah, just a few words about the team.

You know, I think they're first like you.

They're humanists first.

They come from different disciplines and different disciplinary backgrounds.

And just as an example, we have a brilliant designer who is just a mathematical genius and a computer scientist and a...

a mechanical engineer who is trained as a synthetic biologist.

And now we're hiring a microbiologist and a chemist, architects, of course, and designers, roboticists.

So it's really, it's Noah's Ark, right?

Two of each.

Yeah, the built and the grown, nature and culture, technology and biology.

But we're constantly seeking to ask, how can we build, design, and deploy products in three scales?

The molecular scale, which I briefly hinted to in there.

And the molecular scale, we're really looking to understand whether there is a universal language to nature and what that language is.

And then build a tool that I think and dream of it is the iPhone for nature.

If nature had an iPhone, what would that iPhone look like?

Exactly.

It goes back to that 11.5 quintillion times the bandwidth that humans have now arrived at and

And giving that to nature and seeing what happens there.

Can animals actually use this interface to know that they need to run away from fire?

Can plants use this interface to increase the rate of photosynthesis in the presence of a smoke cloud?
