NOTE ABOUT AUDIO: We apologize for the audio issues early on in this video. We’ve cleaned up and repaired the audio as best we can, and all of the video should be intelligible; nevertheless, audio quality is still subpar early in Nathan’s presentation. We hope to have captions available in the near future. – EM
