I think we'll get started. Hi, everyone. My name is Mike Ryskin. I'm from the life science tools and diagnostics team here at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. I want to welcome you to our health care conference. I'm here on behalf of Derik De Bruin, the senior analyst on the team. Unfortunately, he couldn't make it today. He's recovering from a recent surgery, but he's in New York and he's following the presentation on webcast. And believe me, he would be here if he could.
