Can you provide an update on the status of federal budget funding? Okay, I think I did that. On research funding, that's one that people are worried about because If they freeze NIH, National Institutes of Health funding, I'm going to try to apologize every time I say an acronym. So I don't do it as often. That's funding that a lot of UW researchers are counting on. That will have a big effect locally, but I mean, across the country, but we'll feel it. (50:12–50:18)
