Have you ever noticed the ""Hungry for Your Thoughts"" link by the Lab Snacks icon on our homepage? This link is part of my commitment to building a company that achieves its competitive advantage from its connection to community. I view the ""Hungry for Your Thoughts"" feedback as one way for me to stay directly connected with the amazing community of scientists we are privileged to serve.

I’d like to personally thank those of you who have taken me up on this invitation.
