Thank you, Laura, and welcome, everybody, to our third quarter conference call. Before we begin, I'd like to read a cautionary statement.

Again, thanks, everybody, again, for joining us. I'm pleased to once again welcome a co-host today in Jeff Peterson. Jeff, as I'm sure many of you know, is the chairman of the Board of Pressure Biosciences and has been for a number of years. He brings a lot of experience and knowledge and thought to the company. As I've said several times before, we are blessed to have Jeff be on board as our chairman. Jeff is here at my request to add additional insight and to where we're going in this crazy year of 2020 to help me answer some of the questions that, sure, we're going to have during the Q&A session and also to offer some thoughts of his own on our recent progress and on our future plans and expectations. Jeff, thanks for joining us.

Hello, all. It's a pleasure to join you today.
