Medieval browser tabs — how scholars jumped between multiple texts #desktopmetaphor #notametaphor at Mexico’s first public library

This wonderful work led by @austin_p_wright is helping @NASAPersevere see connections that help us understand how #Mars #Geology and #chemistry has changed over time, and whether it might have ever harbored ancient life

@AndreaHCI Dream opportunity alert @AndreaHCI is a prolific scholar and generous soul

Stunning photograph of the total solar eclipse on July 11, 1991, taken by Antonio Turok in Chiapas, Mexico.

Paleo artists often "shrink wrap" fossilized animal depictions The T-Rex, Utahraptor, Triceratops—popular depictions of each of these animals shows skin so close to bone that it might be unrealistic So let's shrink-wrap existing animals🧵 Can you guess what this is?

Single filament, single extruder, and single 3D file—but multiple color shades! Check out our new paper published in additive manufacturing. We are thrilled that our work in HCI fabrication research has been recognized in a leading manufacturing journal.

There's Japanese data on cherry tree blossoming stretching back to 812. Some commitment.

@izadi_shahram @NASA Tightly framed images are like looking at the world through a straw. We need space to reason about space.

“Looking at pictures on a screen is a much different experience to walking through a canyon.” Great perspective from Scott Davidoff, @designinspace, at @NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab on how mixed reality can improve data visualization for images of space. google.smh.re/3DMg

@FILWD We have largely been attending to the Gulf of Evaluation. It’s time to visit the Gulf of Execution @jnd1er interaction-design.org/literature/boo…

The future is in the "input." We spent decades figuring out the best way to represent information coming from a computer (information visualization). We learned a lot. But we kind of neglected the other part of the equation, getting information from the human to the computer.

New paper is out now 🎉 Cinematic Techniques in Narrative Visualization — we analyze and discuss techniques from filmmaking, and try to understand when they are (and aren't) useful for data vis arxiv.org/abs/2301.03109 Done w/ @jeffrey_heer, Hillary Mushkin, & @designinspace

The @NASAPersevere PIXL science team used @austin_p_wright's spectral anomaly detector in PIXLISE to identify olivines that look to have been altered in the presence of water science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #PIXLISE is pixlise.org/about

@blprnt #swirls on #Jupiter about the size of Planet Earth nasa.gov/image-feature/… from @NASAJuno

@davidthewid I’d first ask: 1 what context are they investigating; 2 what are the knowns and unknowns; 3 what questions do they want to answer; how much time and resources do they have

I have this event on my calendar for next week, so: what papers/ chapters/ method refs would you send to two smart PhD students in ML who want to learn and try Qualitative methods for the first time?

Overheard at NASA/JPL “that gave me Science Goosebumps” #sciencethrills #discovery @NASAJPL

This May 1 come meet the mad #scientists creating the future of #computing for #Space exploration spacechi.media.mit.edu apply to share ideas or even just observe bit.ly/spaceCHI-app

@leeloowrites NASA takes on some large questions that we often frame as systems. Excited to learn more.

@tannerc “Technology drag” causes friction where the new tool’s value has to be > summed costs of change (new license, training),risks (downtime and data integration) and unknowns. Stasis feels safer

@jodavaho Beats me?

Why do so few tech types use their 'Dr' prefix or 'PhD' postfix?
