Yeah, sure. Um, I mean, we finished the quarter very strong, and as we've mentioned in the past, we haven't seen too much degradation in any of our markets. We finished in the U.S. biopharma around 30% growth, and academia keeps trickling north. Now we're near high single-digit growth for the quarter in the U.S., better than that in Europe, again, teens. But looking forward, it's kind of hard to answer because looking now from July 1 on, July is kind of soft for us anyway. It is for everyone. it kind of gets, it's different year on year. I do think that this is a year where a lot of people are tired and traveling and taking off for the first time, so I think we're seeing some of that. But we'll see. Right now, we see strong, continued momentum in biopharma. You're specifically asking about biotech. We'll see. But, you know, I think most of our markets are still doing fine. I think you've seen our peers make the same kinds of statements, but But it's hard to really make a statement going into July and August. And, you know, in some of our areas, you know, especially like, you know, exosome, this is when they're the softest time of the year for them anyway. So things like that. But we'll know more in about a month or so. And we're not too concerned yet. I mean, things are, you know, kind of like we usually see about this time of year.

Of course, you know, we talked about, you know, getting back in front of customers and business travel somewhat returning. You know, that's a pretty hefty number in itself in terms of a headwind year over year, assuming that that activity ramps back up.

Yeah, and so I guess that's how you define long term and short term, but I think the message I'm trying to convey here is that the fact we were able to hit 40% well ahead of schedule, some of it for our some reasons like travel and things like that that were unforeseen a couple years ago.

Now, we've also really tuned our commercial force to much more inside sales and much more remote access to customers. No travel time, so no loss there, so that's probably an improvement.
