| 0:00.0 | At G.S.K, we believe that prevention is the best medicine. Prevention is pioneering new medicines to reduce |
| 0:07.2 | HIV transmission, applying decades of experience and asthma control to limit long-term lung damage or stopping chronic |
| 0:14.2 | conditions from progressing to more serious complications because preventing |
| 0:17.9 | disease is the best possible outcome for all of us and is why G.S.K. unites science, technology and talent to get ahead of disease together. |

| 0:40.0 | Strange doings. Bob, what's happened to the red spot? We count on it. |
| 0:46.0 | The great red spot of Jupiter, which has been known to exist for as much as 350 years, |
| 0:51.0 | is basically the biggest hurricane in the solar system. |
| 0:55.0 | It basically is bigger than the Earth and it's been |

| 1:50.9 | Gamma ray burst is essentially the collapse or merger of either neutron stars or neutron stars |
| 2:00.6 | essentially into a black hole and it's it's often a supernova but it |
