It helps me refine my argumentation. He’s also very fast! Both in terms of speaking, as many people will know, and in terms of understanding and connecting the dots. ” 8 DAILY CVPR Wednesday Poster Presentation Is it true he can make the best out of the people he works with? “ Yes, that fits him very well.
