I will say with the election last night, my hope is that we will have now a partner in the federal government, specifically in Congress. With the Democrats taking back control of the House and the Senate, I hope that means that they will restore healthcare funding that was cut from the States, restore funding for education, restore funding for science and research, and our colleges and universities, Massachusetts, as you know, has been a state particularly hit hard by the Trump administration cut. So I think that with the change in Congress and the House and the Senate, with leadership coming to Massachusetts members of Congress, that there's going to be more opportunity for that kind of collaboration that you'd want to see.
