Christopher Thomas Schott - JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division - Senior Analyst
Good afternoon, everybody. I'm Chris Schott from JPMorgan. And I'm pleased today to be hosting a fireside chat with Merck management. We can't be in person at the Westin, but we've tried to recreate the best of that here at JPMorgan.
But from Merck, we have Ken Frazier, the company's Chairman and CEO; as well as Rob Davis, the company's CFO; and Dean Li, who is newly appointed President of Merck Research Labs. So thanks, everyone, for joining us today.
Questions and Answers:

And just how you're thinking about the business for the year?
