 And so we'll be getting started shortly with the agenda for today, but it's my pleasure just to take a few moments before we get started on our program to remind you and also to present this year's IMBC Awards of Excellence. The IMBC bestows up to three awards of excellence per year. This is only the second year since the awards were established to recognize outstanding contributions from scientists in the consortium that exemplify service to the IMBC program. The call for nominations for three awards is made in the summer of each year, and the awards are presented at the IMBC come-to-fall meeting of each year. The reading from the terms of reference, these nominees are expected to have made exceptional contributions in at least one area of the IMBC, including contributions to the funding and promotion of the IMBC across diverse organizations that have sustained success in the future of the IMBC, contributions to the operational success of the IMBC, including developments in mouse genetics, phenotyping technologies, informatics and data analysis, amongst others, contributions to outreach and interactions with the global biomedical sciences community, including the academic and industry sectors, as well as government organizations. This fall, the IMBC Awards of Excellence will recognize the individual who has contributed in all of these areas, but has also contributed so much more to the consortium. There is only one award of excellence this year because there is only one, Professor Steve Brown. Since before this consortium had a name, Steve has been the face and voice of the IMBC, and it's an honor for all of us in the IMBC and for so many of its stakeholders outside of the IMBC to have the privilege of working with him and to present this award to Professor Steve Brown for outstanding scientific and administrative contributions and service, exceptional leadership, inspiring vision, and exemplary representation to the global biomedical research science community. The award consists of an engraved plaque. What's on screen? An engraved plaque. And for all of you who know Steve will know that he would probably must prefer it to be an exceptional bottle of wine, but there is a cash award for the included in the award so he will have his plaque and drink it too. Colin Fletcher on behalf of COMP, too wanted to make just a short comment. Sarah told me the whole point of this teeny tiny plaque was that it contrasted nicely with the gigantic contribution of Dr. Brown. Thank you. Thanks. Oh, that was a big surprise. I'm totally honored and thank you very much to everybody who contributed to getting in under the radar and bringing this award to me. It's just two things. It's been an enormous pleasure working in IMBC and very much for me the ethos is about shared leadership, shared experiences, a collegial environment in which we can all contribute and do great things. And I hope that that will very much continue for the future. So thanks very much. I really am very honored to receive this. Thank you. Yeah, I mean the thing is they wanted to give it to you a long time ago, but they had to wait for you to get out of the country so they could organize this.
