Roger Green (00:31): Hi. This is Roger Green, and welcome to the initial podcast of Surfing the NASH Tsunami, a podcast for people who are involved with drug development and commercialization in the liver disease space. We’ve developed this podcast because over the last month we’ve heard tons of questions from virtually everybody involved in this community about the impact of COVID, first, and then how that’s going to affect the entire domino chain of upcoming market events, product readouts, clinical trials, launches, all that going forward.
