Q are other competitors in this space, um, but I have to imagine there's probably plenty of work to go around, um, aside from, from being able to maybe predict an outbreak or, you know, or something like that. What other, you know, what other things do you think that ultimately we'll be able to learn from wastewater that we're not able to do now or we don't know right now?
A Yes, that's a great question. I think that besides the very compelling applications of the platform in the space of infectious diseases, we also absolutely believe that the drug use data that we can collect from wastewater, so use of substances like opioids, meth, cocaine, and other emerging substances, will just transform our ability to understand and to tackle that other crisis that is happening Not only here in the US, but internationally. So I think that there's a huge other area of opportunity to use the platform to improve health outcomes and to increase national security. But also I think ultimately what this platform is about is about empowering people, empowering government leaders, business leaders, But also just citizens, everyday people. Uh, our vision is that these data should be widely available and accessible to everyone, because we're all contributing to it, and we're already seeing such great engagement with our data, with our platform, just through social media. We have our fan base, and we want to do more of that.
