PHE guest investigator David Thaler is a co-author of A Cosmic View of Life on Earth: Hierarchical Visualization of Biological Data Using Astronomical Software. The cooperative international project “A Cosmic View of Life on Earth” adapts an immersive astrophysics visualization platform called OpenSpace to contextualize diverse biological data. Dimensionality reduction techniques harmonize biological information to create spatial representations in which data are interactively explored on flat screens and planetarium domes. Visualizations are enriched with geographic metadata, three-dimensional scans of specimens, and species-specific sonifications (e.g., bird songs). The “Cosmic View” project eases the dissemination of stories related to biological domains (e.g., insects, birds, mammals, human migrations) and facilitates scientific discovery. A terrific 4-minute supplementary video supports the article.
