It's not luck, it's science: the technical feats behind Audun Rikardsen's amazing Arctic photographs
Audun's feats
Split-level
Underwater shot
This split-level photo, Splitting the Catch, won Audun a place in the 52nd Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. In the next tab of this article, Audun explains his split-level technique in more detail. Taken on a Canon EOS 5D Mark III with a Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM lens. © Audun Rikardsen
During the polar nights when the sun never rises, it is just 4°C in the tumultuous, frigid Norwegian Sea. The city of Tromsø is further north than many people ever venture – 350km above the Arctic Circle. These are facts that don't deter Canon Ambassador Audun Rikardsen. In pursuit of photographs of Nordic wildlife as it has never been seen before, he uses his Canon bodies and trusted L-series lenses in punishing conditions: left for days, weeks and months in snow, sleet, hail and wind.
Audun is from a small fishing community in Northern Norway called Steigen, and now lives in a small village at the coast outside Tromsø, also known as the 'Gateway to the Arctic'. He's from a whaling family – a fact he says had the perhaps counterintuitive effect of teaching him to understand and respect natural life. Pairing a curious nature with a burning interest in wildlife, above and below sea level, he creates photographs that receive worldwide recognition for their creativity and technical acumen.

But first and foremost, Audun is a scientist, working as a professor in biology at the University of Tromsø. This is the driving force behind his photography – with a photograph, like no other medium, he can share his research with the world.
Some of his photographic success can be attributed to his advanced understanding of animal behaviour and scientist's access, while some is down to sheer grit; Audun thrives on making the impossible possible. "It's not luck," he says of his more remarkable work. Rather, his thirst for great photography is driven by constant dissatisfaction. Leaving his camera in mountain hides for months at a time to capture eagles at their resting places, submerging it in icy waters to photograph whales frolicking and placing it nose-to-lens with polar bears, he achieves captivating shots that educate the masses.
"Have you ever wondered what it feels like to be a fish, looking up at a predator?" Audun asks. It's lines of inquiry such as this that have led to his more notable images. He often finds that the sights and perspectives he can't see with his own eyes, he can capture through a skilfully positioned lens.
Here, he talks about the challenges of working in the Arctic, his go-to tools of the trade, and the secrets behind his success.

How does photography help you as a scientist?
"I've realised that if I show my scientific results through a picture, it has a much bigger impact. In many situations, I also use my camera as a scientific tool. For example, I photograph whales to capture the fluke – the backside of the tail of the whale – which works as a fingerprint. Then we can compare that photograph with databases in other parts of the world, and in that way identify the migration of whales between those areas."
And how does being a scientist help you as a photographer?
"As a scientist, you're focused on your goal. You plan and you try to get final results, and I do the same with my photography. As a scientist, you need to have a good idea to get funding. But as a photographer, you also need to have a good idea to show something different. And if you have an idea for a project, you plan it like a scientist.
"People will say, 'Audun, you have so much luck.' Well I don't. I think that if you are passionate, if you plan your work and you really want to reach a goal, eventually the luck will come. You can plan the luck."

Your work often shows animals from a unique perspective. What are you trying to achieve?
"It's about showing moments in nature that you rarely see. I know a lot of people complain that [some photography has become] unnatural, because you can capture things you wouldn't normally see. But for me, that's what I want to show – that moment with that animal in that situation. I like my photography to show an animal's natural habitat and what it's doing at close range, creating the feeling that you are in the situation, sitting there with the animal."
Your pictures are so perfectly composed, sometimes it's hard to believe they're not composites.
"For me, when it comes to photography, the photo itself needs to be a single shot with no adjustment or additions – I want it to be totally natural. I plan photographs as a scientist. I often get an idea, write it down, and start thinking of the methods I can use to reach my goal to get that picture. I never stop. And if I fail, I try again – I get even more motivated to reach it. It's that moment when you understand what you have been looking for, for weeks or maybe years – that's the part that drives me both as a scientist and as a photographer."

When you're photographing eagles' resting places, or shooting in the water at night, surely access and low light can be an issue?
"For me, the most important thing with my equipment is that I can use it in low light, and in extreme conditions. That means I need to have cameras with a good dynamic range and high ISO values without too much noise. I use the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, the Canon EOS 6D Mark II and the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II.
"Most people use big tele lenses when photographing animals. I do as well – I often use the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM and Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM – but I also enjoy going in the opposite direction. With a wide-angle (such as the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III USM) or even with a Macro lens (such as the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM), if you get close enough, you can also see the environment where the animal lives, which gives the picture more of a story. It says more about the animal itself.
"In those situations, you need to know and look at the behaviour of the animal – if you are chasing, you will scare them. If you behave in a certain way and you give them time, they will often adjust to you, and at some point they will get interested and come to you. That's when you get the interesting shots."

What are the most extreme things you put your equipment through?
"The type of photography I do is on the limits, in conditions that are quite harsh. The kit is splashed with salt water, it's taken out in freezing conditions and in the rain, and I sometimes drop it. Things happen so fast that I have to be able to throw my camera to the floor and grab another one at times, and I have to trust that the equipment can withstand it.
"When I'm at my hide, that's in an extreme place too – it's on the edge of a cliff next to the sea, so I need a camera that can sit up there in freezing conditions, and still work when I get there. Last night I placed my Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III USM lens in my eagle hide in the rain overnight. Normally I add a filter to the front to protect it from the rain, but I had noticed that the filter leaked, so I decided to take the chance and leave the lens outside without any protection. It was raining so heavily that it sounded like drums on the roof in my house, so I was really worried, but when I went out this morning to check, it was in perfect condition. That's what I love about Canon L-series lenses – they are so robust."

Why is that reliability so important?
"Sometimes you're looking for a certain situation, you're planning and you finally get there. You know that 'now is the time', it's happening, and then if your equipment doesn't work... that's harder to accept than if everything else worked and you messed it up yourself. Sometimes you won't get that chance again! That's why I use cameras that I know can cope with these conditions. The durability and reliability is very important to me."
Tell us about your self-built hide.
"Because I'm both a full-time scientist and a photographer, my challenge is time. And if I want to do photography, I need to combine it with science, and with my local interests. I've built a hide up in the mountains, about two kilometres from my home. When our daughter goes to bed, I go up there to arrange the hide, position the cameras, set up the sensors, and then the camera will take the picture for me.
"This hide was also intended as a kind of office where I can do both science and photography. And it's excellent because when I'm in my hide, I can focus on my work, with no distracting phone calls. And if an eagle comes, I can do photography as well. It took me three years to get the eagles to come, but now it seems like it's finally working."

What got you interested in ocean photography?
"I grew up in a coastal community close to nature, and I remember when I got my first diving mask from my parents. Above water, I could hear the sounds of the birds, the cars, people talking... And then I moved my head underwater and it was totally different. I could hear moving rocks, small voices, then total silence.
"The millimetres that divide those two worlds have always fascinated me. Birds dive down to catch fish, and whales come up from below to breathe. The lives of these creatures are connected by these millimetres of surface water."

How Audun Rikardsen gets his split-level ocean shots
Audun explains the technique behind his split-level sea photographs, and recounts how a special friendship with a walrus got him an award-winning shot.
Tell us about your split-level picture of the orca whale and fishing boat.
"Well, the reason I built my own dome housing in the first place was that I had that picture in my head. I even made a drawing that looks almost exactly like the final picture. I had been observing these killer whales being attracted to fishing boats – you can see it all happening from above the surface, and if you dive, you can see it from below the surface. I wanted to take a picture that tells both stories, but there was no equipment on the market that could do that in low-light conditions. That's why I came up with the idea of making something. When I eventually got the chance and captured that picture, it was a huge adrenaline rush."
Do you build your underwater housings by yourself?
"When I get these ideas of building things, I have friends helping me – engineers, usually. And I have some good friends at the University of Tromsø that help me in their spare time, building domes and creating the electronics that I need for remote controls, external batteries, and things like that. It's been critical for me, having friends with that expertise."
Do you think it's important to focus on a species or a place?
"Yes, I try to specialise in my local environment. I don't travel much, and most of my photography is taken locally, within a few kilometres. I think that's a possibility that a lot of people have, even if you live in the middle of London or in the Sahara. There is always something that is special for your area. If you focus on that, you have the chance of being there at the right moment, taking a picture that is different from most others."

What's your hit rate?
"The more you plan a photograph, the fewer photos you take, and the better they are. With good planning perhaps half the photographs are good. If it's less planned, you can take thousands of pictures, and there might be one that stands out if you're lucky."
What does the future hold for you?
"I have to admit, it's quite hard to combine my science job, my photography and at the same time being a father and a family member. So that's my challenge – time. And that's something I constantly try to do better at. So for the future, I would like to continue my photography, but I also need to be a father. I'm seeking ways to combine this in an efficient way. Hopefully, I can get my daughter into photography as well. That would help a lot!"

Transitions Make Tomorrow Much Different From Today
Joe Desposito | Jun 19, 2008
Welcome to the latest edition of Electronic Design's Megatrends special issue. When our editorial staff sat down to decide its theme, we knocked around a few ideas before settling on transitions. We tried to envision what our world might look like several years from now in some key application areas due to the constantly evolving technologies in our industry. This issue is the result. Contributing editor Ron Schneiderman begins with the numbers behind some of these transitions. According to independent market research organizations and other sources, most market sectors will continue to grow over the next five to 10 years, especially those identified as Megatrends by our editors.
In "Four-Wheeled Supercomputers," technology editor Bill Wong explains how low-cost, high-performance imaging and computational hardware are bringing vision to the forefront of automotive safety, as are improved algorithms and applications for image recogni tion and analysis. Eventually, he says, vision systems will be required by law, just like seatbelts and airbags.
Bill goes on to show how hardware, such as NEC's IMAPCAR processor, might accomplish this transition. The IMAPCAR's architecture is designed spe cifically for video-feedback applications in the automotive market, giving new meaning to the idea of another set of eyes.
Automobiles, which have always been self-contained, are also transitioning to a time when they might be networked with every other car on the road as well as with stationary computers to enhance driver/passenger safety. Bill thinks this opens a can of legal and standardization worms, and the topic is ripe for debate. Might we someday see "no fault" laws for computers as well as drivers?
In security, people typically use a driver's license, passport, or other ID to prove who they are. Are we transitioning to a more ubiquitous use of biometrics, such as fingerprints, iris scans, and even vein patterns to verify identity? Contributing editor Roger Allan examines the latest techniques available and some of the technologies we might see in the future.
As you all know by now, a major transition is taking place in 2009 as analog broadcasts are being shut down in favor of digital transmissions. This shift has many implications for both the near future and several years out as digital TV and digital video come to the fore. Technology editor Dan Harris offers his take in "Motion Blur Distorts Digital Video's Future."
THE ROBOT REVOLUTION
Surgeons are no longer performing all of their operations by hand. In a growing number of cases, they're utilizing robotic assistance. Roger Allan sees advances in robotics enabling vast new surgical capabilities for just about every kind of ailment and injury. These breakthroughs are driven by improvements in sensing—particularly haptic sensing, or the sense of touch— imaging, and robotic control, articulation, and dexterity.
For example, the Carnegie Mellon HeartLander is a miniature mobile robot that facilitates minimal invasive therapy right on the surface of a beating heart. Under physician control, the robot enters the chest through an incision below the sternum, adheres to the epicardial surface, autonomously navigates to the specified location, and administers treatment.
Contributing editor John Edwards looks at changes in the military. While today's footsoldiers go out on dangerous missions that could cost them life or limb, tomorrow's infantry will include robots that assist soldiers or autonomously take on the most dangerous jobs themselves. John describes some of these robots, many of which are modeled on animals for better movement and flexibility, in "The Rats, Snakes, Insects, And Lobsters Of War."
Another transition heading our way is from the big screen to the small screen—TV, that is. Today, we usually watch TV while sitting on a living room couch or a stool in a sports bar. But TV soon will be available on cell phones, PDAs, and anything else with a display, wherever you might happen to be—on a train, bus, or just lounging in the park.
In "Move Over, Couch—The Cell Potato Is Here," technology editor Lou Frenzel explains that the physical implementation prob lem of mobile TV has been solved, but the biggest factor in its success will be content. Got any ideas for great shows on a 1- or 2-in. screen?
This is just a sampling of the articles we have put together for this year's Megatrends issue. We also tackle user input, disruptive technologies, personal robotics, and the evolution to a wireless future. We always welcome your input on anything we cover, so feel free to write to me directly or add your comments to the Web version of each article at electronicdesign.com.

HomeTruck and Bus NewsGo Getta publishes ebook on how to start a trucking company
Go Getta publishes ebook on how to start a trucking company
October 28, 2015 Jon Thomson Truck and Bus News
Leading industry analyst IBISWorld has forecast a major skills shortage in the next five years in the road freight industry with the current workforce ageing and the sector struggling to attract new employees. The analysis reports that through this there is let up in demand as the industry grows steadily with the improving economy.
The shortage of skilled operators in the transport industry and a demand for new operators has led equipment finance company GoGetta Equipment Funding to publish an ebook which outlines was to establish a freight transport operation.
GoGetta reckons it has put the ebook together with the aim of encouraging primarily young, potential owner-drivers primarily or anyone looking to get into the industry.
The ebook, entitled 'Starting an owner–driver trucking business' sets out the basics and offers advice on how to get started in the business that will equip operators as their company becomes established and grows.
Transport and logistics specialist and Partner at Ferrier Hodgson, Brendan Richards said the road freight sector has been staring down the barrel of a skills shortage for a long time, and added that there is nothing to suggest that this will change anytime soon.
"There probably hasn't been a better time to look to capitalise on opportunities emerging in the road freight sector," said Brendan Richards.
"For new market entrants with the capacity to capitalise on new technology to drive their referrals and bookings, there is enormous scope to take on the established players," Mr Richards said.
Leader of business sales for GoGetta Equipment Funding, Caleb Gunn said the company's trucking sector is forecast to increase 40 per cent this financial year and that is partly why the company has published the ebook.
"We have noticed a trend that we are actually funding younger people who are new to the transport industry as opposed to the traditionally aging population," Gunn added.
Mr Gunn recommends anyone considering entering the transport industry considers second hand equipment and familiarising themselves with the six important steps of setting up and running a trucking business, which are outlined in the company's start ebook.
"It's important for start-up owner drivers not to tie up cash flow or overspend because they need to be able to competitively tender to ensure the longevity of their business," Mr Gunn said.

The Philippines: BSP ready for preemptive action to tame inflation risks — Diokno
Centennial Asia > The Asian Pulse > Daily News > The Philippines: BSP ready for preemptive action to tame inflation risks — Diokno
THE PHILIPPINE central bank is ready to take preemptive action if inflation expectations are at risk of being "disanchored," its governor said.
"We are prepared to take preemptive action as needed if inflation expectations become at risk or disanchored," Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor Benjamin E. Diokno said.
He said they continue to be patient and will consider a rate hike adjustment by 2H22. Mr. Diokno said Mar 22 consumer price index (CPI) data suggest that inflation will likely be elevated in the coming months.
Inflation jumped to 4% in Mar 22, near the upper end of the BSP's projected range of 3.3-4.1% for the month and still within the 2-4% target band for the year.
"This means that the BSP must be prepared to take action to prevent price pressures from broadening and becoming more entrenched which could translate to second-round effects," Mr. Diokno said.
"Now, on the timing of the disengagement strategy, I think we are still on track despite the Russia-Ukraine crisis. We're still looking at 2H22 for our normalization [of rates] strategy," he said.
The Monetary Board will have its next policy review on 19 May 22. Its first policy-setting meeting in 2H22 is on 23 Jun 22. Meanwhile, Mr. Diokno said they have extended another PHP300bn zero-interest loan to the National Government.
"They recently renewed it and it will be paid by 12 Jun 22. So, by the time the new administration takes over, there will be no more advances from the central bank," he said.
A decision on future direct advances will be made by the next administration. This is the sixth time the BSP extended direct advances to the National Government since the pandemic.
It is lower than the PHP540bn which was extended thrice in 2021, reflecting the gradual withdrawal of the BSP's budgetary support to the National Government.
Mr. Diokno also said they have significantly reduced their purchase of government securities.
"It's been declining significantly. Right now, we almost don't trade anymore. There are days when we don't buy it," he told reporters in mixed Filipino and English.

EMI Explained
AC EMI Explained
DC EMI Explained
RF & RFI Explained
DC (GEO-MAGNETIC, QUASI-DC) INTERFERENCE
DC refers to a static, non-varying field (0 Hz). Exceedingly low frequency fields, typically between 0 Hz and 10 Hz are referred to as ?quasi static? or ?Quasi-DC? or ?Near-DC? fields.
DC FIELDS
The most common natural source of DC fields is the Earth?s magnetic field. Sometimes referred to as the geomagnetic field, this field provides a compass with the ability to indicate the direction of magnetic North.
The ?field strength? of the Earth?s magnetic field is approximately 49 ?T in central Europe. Magnetic fields, including the Earth?s prefer to accumulate in ferromagnetic materials (iron, nickel or steel) rather than air. Air has a permeability of 1, while steel has a permeability of approximately 300. High-permeable metals, like mu-metal, can have permeability in the hundreds of thousands. DC magnetic lines of flux (from the Earth) will accumulate inside and near ferromagnetic materials (the steel structure of a building) and field levels in the vicinity will be elevated.
The phenomenon of elevated DC fields in structural steel can be man-made: DC welding cables can magnetize structural steel during construction, and MRIs (a source of powerful DC fields, can permanently magnetize steel in the immediate vicinity and, if physically connected, at considerable distances from the magnet. Areas of a building with magnetized steel can have DC magnetic field levels in the range of 200 ?T or more. As we move away from the steel structure, the field levels will decline.
Direct Current (DC) from DC source (the traction power of a railway or DC powerline) will also create a DC magnetic field. However, to the extent that the demand (load) on a DC electrical circuit will vary with time, so too will the frequency of the ?Quasi-DC? field which it produces.
Generally, DC magnetic fields do not present an EMI threat to most electronic equipment such as office and household electronics, although in certain circumstances the ambient DC field can exceed the tolerances of sensitive instruments whose accuracy is in part based on the assumption of a stable, uniform DC field environment. And, although the earth?s magnetic field is relatively stable, there are inherent variations in both the field direction and strength that occur over time. These temporal instabilities in the earth?s magnetic field can be a source of DC interference for long-term operations, like E-Beam lithographic systems and certain electron microscope operations.
More commonly problematic are the Quasi-DC fields, which are produced by either a change in DC current (above) or by the relative movement of a ferromagnetic mass through the Earth?s DC field (below).
QUASI-DC FIELDS
Quasi-DC Field Interference can disrupt the proper functioning of sensitive laboratory equipment and is a growing problem for two reasons. First, research, medical and laboratory instruments are not only proliferating, they are becoming more and more sensitive and therefore more vulnerable to EMI. Many instruments must be shielded from changes in the Earth?s magnetic field.
Second, two sources of Quasi-DC fields are growing. The first is medical and research instruments themselves; MRI?s and NMR?s emit extremely high, and occasionally ramping, DC fields, creating Quasi-DC fields.
In addition, research campuses are being built in urban areas, near public transportation. Heavy rail, light rail, buses and other large ferromagnetic bodies create quasi-DC fields which can disrupt sensitive instruments at surprisingly long distances.
This urban/internal source of DC field interference is of growing importance: the movement of large ferromagnetic bodies through the Earth?s magnetic field produces a momentary shift or perturbation in the geomagnetic field with a consequent ?Quasi? or ?slowly-varying? DC field. Trucks and trains outside the building add to changes caused by the movement of elevators. When the vehicles are powered by DC current (busses, trollies, rail), the changes in the current load add to the perturbation AND substantially increase the affected area. This is particularly troublesome in urban areas with subways and light rail systems.
As an offset to these risks, a careful analysis of present and future DC field conditions, during the early design stage should be performed so that (where necessary) mitigation/shielding strategies can be designed and implemented during construction to ensure each instrument?s performance at the lowest possible cost.

Entrepreneur First Toronto: 1 month in
By Rachel Zimmer, General Manager, Entrepreneur First Toronto
Article5 minute read
Rachel, our Toronto General Manager, reflects on why she took on the challenge of spearheading our Toronto office, the journey to launch, and how our cohort is progressing so far.
Five months ago, I joined Entrepreneur First to lead the launch of our Toronto programme. From the get-go, I knew EF was a pretty special place.
My background is in entrepreneurship. I left my job 3 and a half years after graduating from Queen's University to build my own company, 5Crowd. I understand the impatience that many people feel at the start of their careers. They want to make a difference now, but having the courage to break away from the status quo, even for those with the most innovative mindsets, takes a lot.
I was ready to take the leap into a new adventure for the better part of a year. I know the bittersweet feeling of leaving a great company and job, and understand the fear – and the thrill – of a calculated risk.
What ultimately gave me the courage to take the leap was when a mentor shared the advice: "the riskiest thing you can do is actually stay in your role. If you start something and fail, you can always go back to industry. However, leaving industry just gets harder and harder."
Building my own company was the most valuable and rewarding experience of my life. My co-founder Bram and I were very fortunate to have many individuals mentor us, give us tough love and, ultimately, believe in us.
When I stumbled upon Entrepreneur First, I was enamoured by the idea that I could play a small part in many other Canadians' entrepreneurial journeys – just as those individuals had helped me.
The Road to Launching EF in Canada
EF has already helped over 2500 individuals build over 300 companies. Toronto has come to the global stage as a force to be reckoned with over the last 10 years. With our world-class universities and a thriving venture capital ecosystem, our country is filled with untapped potential. It was the perfect location for EF to launch its next cohort.
So we opened shop and built our team. We brought together experts from the Canadian startup and talent eco-systems, like myself, Milad, Alex and Maja, and EF veterans like Donald and Francois, who understood exactly what it took to make the programme a success.
We took in nearly 1,000 applications, conducted 250 interviews and finally, we had our first cohort of founders-to-be ready to take the leap.
Our 56 cohort members are from 20 countries around the world (15 of them relocated to Toronto). They have joined us from the best academic and research institutions such as Mila Technical Institute, Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute, University of Waterloo, University of Toronto, University of Oxford, Queen's University, Ivey Business School at Western University amongst many others. Many left their impressive jobs to join us from companies such as Google, Facebook, Huawei, BCG, Borealis, ElementAI and League to name a few.
On Sept 12, we opened the doors to them at our (covid-compliant) Kick-Off Weekend – an opportunity for our founders-to-be to meet, work and talk about their vision of changing the world, together.
At the end of the event, we were told by cohort members that they had never seen so much potential in one room- and while maybe it was a little intimidating, it was also invigorating. They'd found their people.
Making and Breaking
Within one week, 70% of our cohort had already formed co-founding teams. But don't be mistaken – these will not be the final teams we see pitching companies in a few weeks.
We know that finding a co-founder is hard. The EF philosophy is that the best way to identify the right co-founder is to test the relationship; try it out for a few days, and see what you create together. If it works, great. If you're getting nowhere, or not moving fast enough, move on. There's another 50+ brilliant people you can trial partnering with.
Not only do we create an environment where team break ups are normal – we celebrate them. You need a co-founder with a complimentary skillset, with whom you can build a productive working relationship and share responsibility. That may not be the first person you partner with, and that's okay.
Recognising the value in breakups and inorganically forming teams removes the 'social pressure' to stay in a partnership that isn't working, meaning that everyone can find the best outcome for them. And it works. As one cohort member said:
"We raced through validation with a bunch of our hunches/ideas, but unfortunately, we weren't able to find an idea that stuck. He will make an awesome CEO, as he's exceptionally driven, focussed and knowledgeable… We had a terrific working relationship, and I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again, despite not being right as co-founders."
Adapting and Innovating
When we decided to launch in Toronto, we of course didn't expect the global situation to be as it is. And we are missing some things – the celebratory dinners; the office buzzing as our founders turn ideas to reality; the excitement of an in-person demo day.
But our core plan – supporting exceptional talent from Canada and around the world to realise their potential – hasn't changed. In fact, we had such a great response to our launch that our first cohort is actually over subscribed. We intended to have 50 founders-to-be and were blown away by the market that we went with 56.
We're moving with the times, and as we've seen in other EF locations, our talent will find a solution. They don't just adapt, but they innovate. They see opportunity and build what people need.
As our co-founder Alice said in one of our early conversations, "the best entrepreneurs are infinite learners. They will learn their way out of a pandemic."
No matter what the situation or how things change, I know the next 6 months are going to be an amazing adventure; for me, for our in-house team, for our cohort.
