How to See the Bigger Picture From NASA's Webb Space Telescope - by b0yle
“It was just us messing around with the data in three dimensions, and then later making a very detailed physical model of the motions of stars and the explosion of supernovae,” she said. “It looks like we had this all figured out, but the truth is, it was a lot of data exploration.”
Exploring computer-generated models in 3-D led not only to the “local bubble” discovery, but also to the discovery of theGoodman said that computer simulations have become so useful that you could think of them as a third component of the discovery process, alongside theory and observations. She pointed to a research paper titled“There are several papers like this,” she said. “This is probably the most expanding field of cosmology at the moment.
And perhaps the most exciting aspect of astronomical simulations is that they can be shared with the public. “It’s gotten to the point where if you’re careful about it, the same software that’s used to discover things can be made available to the public and can be published along with the results,” Goodman said.
Harvard astronomer holds up a Merge Cube that can be used to display 3-D data visualizations in augmented reality. To facilitate that sharing, Goodman is part of a team working on an open-source data visualization package called

Monitoring Individual Employees Isn’t the Way to Boost ProductivityEver since workers moved from offices to work-from-home setups, companies have worried about how they’re spending their time. Many have bought invasive “productivity monitoring” software to keep tabs on people — logging keystrokes, timing how long they’re away from their computers, even watching them through cameras. But these tools are about control more than productivity. They reflect a “squeeze ’em” view of work that uses superficial metrics that measure busyness, and employees know it — and often resent it. There is, however, a better and more empathic way to use data to improve productivity: look at where the company can improve, not individuals. By using anonymized data about how people work — where they encounter friction, where broken processes make their jobs harder — companies can reveal what about their systems isn’t working. In other words, this data should be used as a mirror, not a microscope. To do this effectively, in a way that aligns company and employee interests, employers should: make individuals anonymous, collect data at the team level, make participation opt-in, share the data with workers, invite collective problem solving, and empower teams to use this data on the local level.
