| 0:42.3 | I have Natalie Hudson Smith. |
| 0:44.3 | She's the postdoctoral researcher at Stony Brook University out of Long Island in New York. |
| 0:48.3 | And we're going to talk about how we can photograph the nanosized world, which is really, really cool. |
| 0:53.3 | So looking forward to talking to her. |
| 0:54.8 | Welcome, Natalie. Thank you. Thanks. I have one update. I am as of really just last month, |
