And so the cool thing about chemistry is the foundation of the physical world.

So if you guys just look around where you are right now, I see a guitar in the background.

The number of material science projects that went into making that from the metal that's of the string to the plastic.

Yeah.

of the guitar to the coating on top of it to, I'm sure there's actually some very special materials that are some sort of acoustic dampening or, you know, acoustic properties.

All of that.

The wiring itself.

The clothes that you're wearing, these are fibers, right?

These are spun fibers from some sort of synthetic cotton or maybe polymer or material.

So everything in the physical world is chemistry.

And that means it's one of the oldest industries as well, right?

It's one of the things that humans have been doing for the longest.

And so I think, you know, the best way to think about it is anytime you go to a store and you look at everything on the shelf.

Right.

That's chemistry.

Maybe not the two by fours.

Right.

That were purely coming from a piece of wood.

But everything else is probably not just a simple, you know, single component.

And so that's that's super exciting because then you're helping to, you know, we like to think of ourselves as helping to invent the physical world faster or our customers are using our technology to do that.
