AI mathematician and a planetary diet -- the week in infographics
An unprecedented number of first-time investigators have secured viewing time on NASA's Hubble Space Telescope in the years since the agency overhauled the application process to reduce systemic biases. In 2018, NASA changed the way it evaluates requests for observing time on Hubble by introducing a'double-blind' system, in which neither the applicants nor the reviewers assessing their proposals know each other's identities. All the agency's other telescopes followed suit the next year. The move was intended to cut discrimination on the basis of gender and other factors, including bias against scientists who are at small research institutions, or who haven't received NASA grants before. Data from the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, Maryland, which manages Hubble, show that since the change was introduced, more first-time principal investigators have been securing viewing time on Hubble. How do mathematicians come up with new theories?
