“You never know someone else's story. You never know what the experience of a concert or hearing a piece is to somebody. You don't know how that affects them. So much of my music and why I do what I do is to facilitate these moments of connection between choristers, to give autonomy to choristers to feel like co-composers of my music themselves each time they're performing the work. I always tend to seek out music, texts, stories, ideas that facilitate that.”Composer, improviser, and vocalist Katerina Gimon's uniquely dynamic, poignant, and eclectic compositional style has earned her a reputation as a distinct voice in contemporary Canadian composition and beyond. Her music has earned her several honours including multiple SOCAN Awards, nominations for Western Canadian Composer of the Year, and a Barbara Pentland Award for Outstanding Composition.In her music, Katerina draws influence from a myriad of places — from the Ukrainian folk music of her heritage to indie rock, as well as from her roots as a songwriter. Her compositions are performed widely across Canada, the United States, and internationally, with notable performances at Carnegie Hall, Berliner Philharmonie, and the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. Recent commissions include new music for the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Vancouver Youth Choir, National Youth Orchestra of Canada, and re:Naissance Opera. Katerina is the composer-in-residence for Myriad Ensemble and is based in Metro Vancouver, British Columbia.In addition to her composing work, Katerina is also a founding member (vocalist, electronics, co-composer) of dynamic new music and AR/VR collective Chroma Mixed Media alongside multi-media artists David Storen and Brian Topp. Excited by the ever-evolving landscape of technology in today's society, Chroma endeavours to explore new avenues and intersections for artistic expression by combining various art forms and new technologies to explore new possibilities and challenge audience expectations.Katerina holds a Master of Music in Composition from the University of British Columbia ('17) and an Honours Bachelor of Music degree in Composition and Improvisation from Wilfrid Laurier University ('15). When she isn't making music, Katerina enjoys playing board games, puzzling, adventuring outdoors, and relaxing with her husband and their two cats.To get in touch with Katerina, you can find visit her website, katerinagimon.com, or find her on Instagram (@katgimon) or Facebook (@kgimon).Email choirfampodcast@gmail.com to contact our hosts.Podcast music from Podcast.coPhoto in episode artwork by Trace HudsonPodMatchPodMatch Automatically Matches Ideal Podcast Guests and Hosts For Interviews

Vivid Photonics, a spin-out company from Tyndall National Institute based at University College Cork, has developed a breakthrough technology poised to revolutionise image quality in augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR). The team has developed a Horizontal Cavity Surface Emitting Super Luminescent Diode (SLD) technology - the first of its kind globally. This revolutionary light source technology is designed to deliver superior image quality in compact, ultra low-power, lightweight AR devices, such as smart glasses, paving the way for seamless integration into everyday experiences. This innovation has the potential to impact the areas of education, medicine, environmental science, entertainment, and more. The team behind the spin-out company, including Brian Corbett, is part of IPIC, the Research Ireland Centre for Photonics, and has extensive experience in the industry. A prolific inventor and innovator, Corbett's research has fuelled several spin-out companies, including InfiniLED, which was subsequently bought by Meta in 2016. The company launched to a global audience at Photonics West in San Francisco last week. Chris Gorman, CEO of Vivid Photonics, said: "This is an exciting time to be involved in Photonics, and Ireland is at the forefront of this industry. Years of advanced research in Tyndall have produced breakthrough manufacturing processes that will revolutionise how we generate projected light for small, lightweight AR glasses. The image quality this will achieve is anticipated to be on par with real life." Professor Paul Townsend, Director of IPIC and Head of Photonics, Tyndall, said, "I am excited to see the commercialisation of this latest innovation from Brian Corbett's world-leading photonics research group. This is a fantastic example of how investment in cutting-edge photonics research through programmes such as IPIC can generate impact". Professor William Scanlon, CEO, Tyndall said: "Vivid Photonics' technology is set to redefine how the digital and physical worlds interact. This spin-out company is testament to Tyndall's research excellence in the field of Photonics and we look forward to seeing the profound impact this tech will have across many different applications." Dr Sally Cudmore, Director of UCC Innovation, said: "It is great to see many years of Tyndall and UCC research come to fruition through the creation of a photonics spin-out company. The UCC Innovation team supported the project from conception to spin-out, and I would like to congratulate the research team on their entrepreneurial journey. Vivid Photonics will continue to develop Tyndall's SLD technology into products that will generate economic and social impact."

How can brands leverage emerging technologies to drive real business results? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Sarah Salter, Global Head of Innovation and Platforms at Wavemaker, to explore how companies can move beyond hype and apply AI, AR/VR, and other innovations in ways that truly engage consumers and deliver measurable impact. With a background spanning 15 years and work on groundbreaking projects for brands like P&G, Nationwide, and the NHS, Sarah brings a unique perspective on digital transformation across industries. Innovation isn't about chasing trends—it's about solving real business challenges. Sarah shares how Wavemaker helps brands set clear KPIs and use emerging tech strategically, from AI-driven personalization to immersive brand experiences in gaming and the metaverse. We discuss key lessons from major tech initiatives, including the NHS's COVID-19 WhatsApp response and Nationwide's Local Voices campaign on Alexa and Google, and how these projects balanced agility, accessibility, and meaningful engagement. As AI continues to reshape marketing, brands are navigating a shift from interruptive ads to participatory experiences. Sarah highlights how companies like L'Oréal and Dove are leading with AI-driven campaigns and why gaming is becoming a major frontier for brand engagement. But with rapid technological change comes challenges—how do businesses keep up, invest in the right skills, and ensure innovation stays inclusive? A passionate advocate for diversity in tech, Sarah also shares her thoughts on why diverse teams lead to better innovation and why the industry must do more to support women in leadership. From fostering STEM education to initiatives like WPP's Back in the Game, she discusses what's needed to build a more inclusive future in technology. How can brands use technology to connect with audiences in more meaningful ways? And what does the future of immersive, AI-powered marketing look like? Tune in to hear Sarah Salter's insights on the next era of brand innovation.

Welcome to Health-e Law, Sheppard Mullin's podcast exploring the fascinating health tech topics and trends of the day. In this episode, Jonathan Meyer, former general counsel of the Department of Homeland Security and Leader of Sheppard Mullin's National Security Team, joins us to discuss cyberthreats and data security from the perspective of national security, including the implications for healthcare. What We Discussed In This Episode How do cyberattacks and data privacy impact national security? How can personal data be weaponized to cause harm to an individual, and why should people care? Many adults are aware they need to keep their own personal data secure for financial reasons, but what about those who aren't financially active, such as children? How is healthcare particularly vulnerable to cyberthreats, even outside the hospital setting? What can stakeholders do better at the healthcare level? What can individuals do better to ensure their personal data remains secure? About Jonathan Meyer As a partner in Sheppard Mullin's Governmental Practice Group and leader of the firm's National Security team, Jonathan E.
