And I want to recognize him for his 34 years of dedicated service. I want to express my deep gratitude for his integral role in Sigma-Aldrich's success for over the past 3 decades and for his friendship. Kirk, we shall miss you and wish you and your family all the best. We also welcome Quintin. Many of you know Quintin from his 10 years on the cell side, and we're happy that he has joined us.
