31 Computer Vision News Computer Vision News never really get to do that. I remember coming to a research lab as a second-year bachelor’s student, and I was just in awe. I was like, this is what I want to do for the rest of my life! [laughs] I want to be in a lab and do research. It was a computational lab, but just her giving me that opportunity and then giving me advice was one of the most useful things that I’ve experienced. The second one is my PhD supervisor, Joakim Lundeberg. He was very successful in his field, and I joined the lab as a computational person, and he was on the experimental side. He had no idea about my type of stuff, but he always tried to understand it, and he was very humble about the fact that he knew more about one thing and I knew more about another. That’s very impressive from someone who’s so successful in one part of science, and then they’re open to learning from someone who’s very young and inexperienced. That really left an imprint. He gave me a lot of really good opportunities as well. That’s someone I’m very thankful to as well. The third person is my current manager, Aïcha Bentaieb, who you know, actually. She’s been very patient with me and helped me with my transition to industry. Not only do I know Aïcha, but all my readers know her because she was named and shamed on these pages exactly eight years ago. Time flies. Exactly, yes! [laughs] Aïcha also was not able to say bad things about you, so it is probably reciprocal. [laughs] That’s good. That’s very nice of her. I bet there are a lot of things to say! Alma, we are being very positive. We find good medicines. We make good science. We get good mentors. We have great opportunities. We have a bright future. But there are ups and downs. How do you manage the downs? Alma Andersson
