"Behind me is the entrance to many of our top-notch research facilities," she answered. "Here at Landel's Institute, we are passionate about ensuring the success of Next-Wave. With the help of both private investors and federal sponsorships, we have created a dream team of scientists who are working tirelessly to find new, innovative ways to serve and protect our country."
