A researcher presented a document on using data visualization and provenance to aid biomedical discovery. Some key points:
- There is significant reproducibility crisis in science according to a Nature survey of researchers.
- Provenance captures the origins and history of data and insights to improve reproducibility and understanding.
- Tools like StratomeX and CLUE were developed to visualize relationships in biomedical data from sources like The Cancer Genome Atlas to guide exploration and discovery.
- The presenter advocates for data-driven discovery, communication, and storytelling using visualization histories ("vistories") to better capture the full process and context of insights.
