Issue with numpy v1 and seaborn in colab

[MitchellAcoustics]

In a new google colab doc, with v0.7.8 of soundscapy installed, we get the following numpy error on import:

This is resolved by updating numpy in colab !pip install --upgrade numpy:

However, clearly something is still wrong with our compatibility with numpy v1.
