In April, an unassuming old building in New Delhi’s furniture market housed roughly 30 youngsters. Some were hunched over their laptops crunching data on Excel or analyzing a heat map, while others huddled to discuss strategy. These were engineering graduates, economists, political scientists, and others. There were office chairs, desks, and a couple of white boards.

The entire setup could easily have passed as a startup office, but it wasn’t. This was an election war room.

From there, Sapiens Research founder Rimjhim Gour’s team served as the brains of Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party, or BJP. The party’s senior leadership had entrusted Gour with mobilizing 12.5 million female voters across India, and her team spent their days crunching historical polling trends, using data to pinpoint critical constituencies, browsing WhatsApp for real-time on-ground updates, and shaping electoral strategies to usher in BJP for a third consecutive term.

Gour’s team was successful: Modi was sworn in as the Prime Minister on June 9 after the BJP formed the government through an alliance with 293 seats. India’s general elections happen once in five years, and in 2024, a record-breaking 642 million Indians voted. Of the total voters polled, 312 million were women. This was BJP’s grand experiment: The party wanted to micro-target and mobilize female voters, and hired people like Gour to make it happen—revealing, says Amogh Dhar Sharma, author of the forthcoming book The Backstage of Democracy: India’s Election Campaigns and the People Who Manage Them, “the hidden power of a new technocratic elite that has become critical for parties and politicians to fight elections and win votes in India.”

“In most places [in India], electorates who are registered but not voting are always women,” says Gour, who previously worked as a media strategist at Indian Political Action Committee, the legendary firm widely recognised for propelling Modi to victory in 2014. Dressed in an off-white salwar kameez, with a big pair of round glasses keeping her hair off her face, Gour is suave and confident, and fluently switches between English and Hindi. “That’s when it struck me that if we have to mobilize someone, it has to be women; they make up 50% of the electorate but still haven’t been tapped into completely in a systematic approach.”

Over the past decade, the Indian electioneering landscape has been overhauled by the advent of social media, data-driven insights, and political consultants. “I think the 2024 Indian general election confirms … the inordinate role of campaign professionals in Indian elections,” says Sharma. From call centers being used for “screening” party supporters, to WhatsApp for real-time updates, and a specialized app for reporting and documenting meetings, each tool served a unique purpose in this BJP campaign. “The speed at which these technologies are being embraced by parties and the growing emphasis on them is certainly unique,” says Sharma.

The BJP’s use of technology and social platforms has evolved as politics has, as they have gone from being niche tools to essential infrastructure. The BJP emerged as the highest spender on political ads on Meta platforms this election. If the 2019 election was characterized as the “WhatsApp Election” because of the excessive use of the messaging platform, the 2024 campaign was the “YouTube Election.” It marked an unprecedented use of YouTube influencers by BJP that featured softball questions with political candidates and paid promotions. While rival parties worked to catch up, the BJP still leads the pack with dedicated cyber troops for year-round content creation—and not just during elections.

And the BJP’s decision to hire a dedicated consultant to woo women votes seems like the next step in this broader evolution of using tech.

Historically, women voters lean towards progressive parties. But over the past decade, under Modi’s rule—characterized by what critics describe as creeping authoritarianism due to attacks on civil society, religious polarization, and cracking down on dissent—there has been a noticeable shift, with both the 2014 and 2019 elections recording higher female participation and increased support for the BJP amongst female voters. The BJP had been launching female-friendly welfare schemes including subsidized cooking gas cylinders and maternity leaves, for greater equality. As a result, in 2019, women’s poll participation exceeded men’s for the first time. This time it was about going a step ahead to remind a specific cohort of targeted women about Modi’s policies and nudge them to go out to vote.

Gour’s get-out-the-vote effort, which used a potpourri of apps, data analysts, and personal outreach by party workers, thus represented a convergence of two trends in an attempt to consolidate a women’s vote newly open to the BJP.

For Modi to return to power, BJP had to win 272 of the 534 parliamentary seats. Gour’s young team was focused on 235 seats, which they identified as “critical seats”—areas where the BJP has either won or lost by less than 10% margin of votes in the past. The goal was to identify women self-help groups, or SHGs, in those 235 critical voting areas, and then use BJP’s party workers, or karyakartas, to meet, motivate, and mobilize female voters.

India’s rural SHGs are collectives of 10 or more women who pool their money and support each other through savings; nearly 100 million women are part of SHGs. And women involved with SHGs are already more politically active.

“Often the hardest problem for political parties who want to engage with women and get women to participate in public life is to figure out how to get these women to participate in a political cause,” says Anirvan Chowdhury, a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University who studies the BJP’s attempts to target female voters. “And in a context where politics is often seen as unsuitable for women, reframing politics as seva [selfless service] or using existing institutional frameworks like the SHG structure helps solve that problem.” Because of this sustained effort, there has been a pro-BJP tilt in women’s political preference in many northern states which have a strong history of support for Modi’s BJP, research shows.

For Gour’s Sapiens Research team, the challenge wasn’t merely to locate these self-help groups but to identify potential BJP supporters within these groups—a task that requires data analysis. Ujjawal Agrawal, the program manager at Sapiens Research, spearheaded the initiative of meticulously mapping voter and demographic information to phone numbers of women in “critical” SHGs. Agrawal then mustered the BJP’s in-house network of 20,000 call center operators—run by another Indian Political Action Committee alumnus Diggaj Mogra—to identify BJP sympathizers within the large SHG cohort.

The call centers did so by asking a few pointed questions. One key question was whether the woman would help mobilize 10 other women for the BJP. If she responded positively, she was deemed a supporter. If the SHG member’s response was no, then she would be categorized as a swing voter or non-supporter. For instance, in West Bengal, Agrawal said, 10% of women who were part of the SHG refused to mobilize voters for the BJP. (Interestingly, this approach bears some broad similarities to the Donald Trump campaign’s strategy for this year’s US election.)

Soni Bam is the sort of SHG mobilizer Gour’s team was looking for. She is from the Leparada district in the northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh and her eight-member group, called Hiri Molo, is dedicated to making women independent by finding ways to earn and save. But since October 2023, she has been involved in the BJP’s election-related work: going door-to-door explaining women about the elections, and advocating BJP schemes that will help women. She also asks women to attend meetings organized by the BJP workers.

Gour’s team used the 20,000 callers from the BJP’s call center to do 300,000 “screening” calls a day to create the final target list. “We are the brain and call centers are basically your eyes [of political campaigns],” says Gour.

It has become commonplace in India for political parties to set up call centers in the weeks leading up to polling, says Sharma. “These call centers can provide a range of functions—encouraging citizens to update their voter ID card, reminding them of the party’s manifesto promises, gauging their intention to vote, and even soliciting their feedback on the ticket distribution or chief minister nomination process.” But what’s unique, says Sharma, about the BJP is the massive investment in an in-house network of 20,000 call center operations across 350 locations. No other party has a comparable infrastructure for electioneering.

BJP’s central leadership monitored the SHG meetings organized by party workers through the revolutionary SARAL app, which stands for Sangathan Reporting and Analysis. (Sangathan in Hindi means “organization.”) It’s the BJP’s “digital handheld office.” Nearly 4 million BJP party workers use the app monthly, where they can upload party activities and share images of events, and details of people they meet during campaigns. In the months leading up to elections, the BJP ran a campaign on the app called “Shakti Chaupal” to mobilize female voters. It was overseen by Gour’s team.

The tech-savvy team of data analysts at Sapiens’ office in Delhi would then aggregate the trends, and submit weekly or monthly reports on the extent of voter mobilization to party leaders. “If they send us those two photos on a WhatsApp number, it will be difficult for us to monitor,” Agrawal said. “We get clear, systematic data from SARAL.” In the three months leading up to May, an estimated 5000 meetings were conducted, and 5877 party workers helped Sapiens team in mobilization.

In late April, during the first phase of the election, where nearly one-fifth of all parliamentary seats were going to polls, witnessed poor voter turnout. The dip in voter turnout compared to elections in 2019, gripped Gour and the BJP with panic. Early doubts over BJP’s decisive victory surfaced online. Soon, the BJP machinery redoubled outreach activity and notched up demands on state-incharges to address voter apathy.

One crucial battlefield for the BJP was the Kendrapara constituency in the eastern state of Odisha, which has been ruled by the Biju Janata Dal, or BJD, for two decades. Gour’s team was responsible for mobilizing the SHGs in the area. When it came time to vote, Gour’s war room sprang into action. Her team began calling party workers every few hours for updates on the SHGs voting. After that, a round of bot calls were made to the SHG women, since the human call centers were at capacity. At the end of the day, an automated call went out to SHG women, asking if they mobilized, who they mobilized, and if they could share pictures and data.

This process was repeated in constituencies across the country, to great effect: By the end of the election, Gour says, they personally mobilized 12 million women voters.

Despite Gour’s best efforts, though—and positive feedback they received on WhatsApp, SARAL, and call centers—the BJP suffered huge losses in their Hindi-speaking heartland states such as Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. From being the single largest party with 303 seats in 2019, Modi’s BJP was cut down to size with 240 seats, and formed the government by entering into a power-sharing agreement with smaller regional parties.

Consultants like Gour continue to claim the election as a win, with a caveat that while their work contributed to the vote share of the candidates, they were “not the only factor.” Other experts tell WIRED that there were likely additional reasons women came out to vote during this cycle, such as religious polarization and welfare programs such as free food or cash handouts. The ultimate lesson may be about the enduring power of traditional methods.

“No Indian politician,” says Sharma, “can as yet dispense with holding public rallies, road shows, or door-to-door canvassing, which create momentum both for ordinary voters and for party workers themselves.”

Cross dimensional research expeditions sounded cool on paper, but actually going on one had so far proven to be one monotonous day after the other. However, Nereida, a research assistant who's job was mostly typing numbers on a spreadsheet when he wasn't running tests they had robots to do back home, couldn't love it more.

The team on the transport ship was small in comparison to the others deployed by the institute. Only him and about 30 scientists and another 20 support staff who did what they could to avoid mingling with the sort of science minded individual who would gleefully sign up to go live on a remote alien island for eight months. Mostly because there was very few places you could run too on this boat, despite it's gargantuan size, to escape the constant rambles about bacterial colonies in alien fish shit, or how the water salinity varies day to day as they cross from the warp point to the one island capable of sustaining around 200 eggheads and another 100 support staff.

Nereida had taken the dinky decade out of date laptop he'd been given and all the notebooks worth of data he had to enter up onto the top deck with him to enjoy the day.

The sunlight was dulled by thick clouds, and despite the work being done all around him, it was a peaceful enough place to do his job and listen in on the conversations of the actual researchers on this boat. He was just an intern with better pay, and yet he was surrounded by people who had been in this field longer than he had been alive. The snippets he heard fascinated him just as much as the pictures painted by the numbers he was entering into endless spreadsheets.

One of the lab guys, John if Nereida was remembering correctly, shouted for everyone to come look at something over the edge of the ship.

"Mers! We've got a Sighting!" he called, the identification team dropping whatever it is they were doing to dart out towards him. Everyone else following behind. They'd only been here for a week, and most were just as new to the mission as Nereida was and so had never seen the mermaids that roamed these waters in person.

They were as magnificent as Nereida had hoped.

A pod of five swam in the shallow waters, each one of them bigger than a killer whale with the largest of them being longer than a school bus. They almost looked like the mermaids of legend and fantasy. Long fish like tails that gave way to human torsos with arms and a head, but these were sea monsters, not fair maidens giggling and luring. Thick hides and iridescent scales in a rainbow of colors, thick arms and powerful bodies, faces that only superficialy resembled a humans with a wide mouth and eyes that opened and closed on a slant.

They seemed intelligent, but proving had been hard. Their songs being more similar to that of whales and dolphins than anything a human mind was meant to be able to understand.

The scientists ooo-ed and ah-ed at the sight of them, the identification team hurriedly checking their markings against the list of individuals they already had recorded, before adding the two newcomers to it.

"Fuckin, Fuckin look at that," John said, more to himself than anyone else.

"I don't know how you couldn't," Nereida responded, internally wincing at his mistake.

"Ai... What do you think they're saying?" John rolled with it or he didn't care to notice.

"I think they're telling the big one something. He's getting nagged at," he pointed at the massive grey and red individual that was straying closer to the ship.

"How could you know that? Or that it's a he?"

"That's J-15h, He was in the first pod ever identified and comes nearer to the ships than most of them so I've seen a lot of pictures of him," Nereida shrugged before continuing on, "And it's really obvious, he's not calling, but they all are, and the leader is doing that short trill over and over. I thinks that one is trying to tell him to stay away from us."

John taps his fingers on the railing, jittering as he gets more and more excited, "You can tell which one is calling by ear?"

"You can't?"

"No, no, No one can. Who are you by the way? One of the behavioralists?"

"Uh, no, I'm just a research assistant for the cataloging team. Data entry and sample processing. You're one of the lab guys, right?"

"Yeah, John Tallarico, I just got a promotion so I'm the new head for the main lab," he grinned, "Come on I want a name to put to your face in case I see you again."

"It's Nereida Pesce. Didn't the last guy in that position disappear?"

"Yeah! I heard one of the mermaids ate him," John's excited smile never wavered, "Walked off into the ocean one-day and got snatched."

"Wow, did you know him or-"

"Yeah, it's sucks he's gone but honestly I'm trying to not think about it." John cuts him off, "No use grieving again and all of that. Anyways, what are they saying now?" he changes the subject quickly,

"Uh... J-15h is vocalizing now. I think he's curious? It's the sound they make when they want a response."

"What?"

"It's like, Like if call out 'Marco' you expect someone to shout back 'Polo'. That long note he keeps making is one they make when they're trying to sound off and make sure the whole pod is together, or find another individual nearby."

"Do you think he wants us to respond?"

"Uh, I don't think it matters? That feels like a violation of the rules around not interfering-"

John stopped listening about halfway through, before taking a deep breath and very loudly, and very, Very badly, mimicking the call. The chatter around them stops, everyone looking to him to see if he had a purpose behind that.

"They stopped calling," Nereida pointed out before John could speak. "I think you weirded them out,"

John shrugged, "J-15 whatever, Jish, wanted someone to respond." he tried to explain himself.

One of the actual behaviorists began to speak, but J-15H, Jish, responded instead.

He bellowed the call back, tacking on a long high pitched trill at the end.

"He didn't like your call," Nereida didn't know why he was attempting to translate, but he felt he was right. The only other time that sort of vocalization had been recorded had been when one of the mermaids rejected the fish researchers had attempted to give it.

"Yeah, Well one of you do better, then," John scoffed,

Jish called for a response again, coming closer to the ship even as the leader began snapping out warning calls at him.

There was a moment where about twelve people who had each independently signed a nearly 100 paged document about commiting to ethical and non invasive interactions with the giant alien mer people all looked between each other, and then the bravest of them attempted the call.

Her voice was higher, the note in the middle going a bit too sharp. Jish responded, again tacking on that long trill but trailed off into a whistle instead of stopping abruptly into silence.

They looked to Nereida, trusting his translation even though he had never heard these songs outside of recordings, nor had anyone ever actually managed to translate them.

"I-I think uhm, I think he didn't like it but he's not being as judgemental about it. That was a friendly noise." he tried, "But I'm just guessing, it's just a feeling-"

"Hey! Don't put yourself down, A gut feeling is where all science starts," John clapped him on the shoulder, making him shrink further into himself under the weight of so many people Looking at him.

"It's seeming accurate so far," the woman shrugged, Jish called again, Nereida percived it as him getting impatient, "Someone else give it a shot," she called to their baker's dozen of elite scientists and also Nereida.

What proceeded was a bunch of adults who were all at the top of their chosen fields making whale noises to entertain a multi ton fish while an intern translated for said fish.

It went on long enough that most of the pod had left, leaving only Jish behind to play whatever game it was they were all taking part in. A few others joined them, a few more left, until it was just Nereida, John, and the behavioral team which Nereida now recognized the woman to be the head of. Her name was Marney with no last name, as he'd found out between her attempts to hit the notes she was struggling with.

Marney tapped her foot after getting another interpretation from Nereida, "Listen, as soon as we're done You are coming to my office and translating as many of the recordings we have as you can,"

"I'm just guessing -"

"Ch! No, enough of that young man, even if you're just guessing we can use those guesses to fine toon everything. You're picking up on nuances I've never heard before."

"Yes ma'am," Nereida didn't dare protest more, he was already feeling fraught from having to be the center of attention for so long.

Jish called again. He was drifting further away, adding down notes onto his calls. Nereida interpreted it as frustration or boredom.

"I'm out," John sighed. The straggling behavioral team nodding I'm agreement, "Whatever he wants, we aren't managing it."

"We aren't," Marney agreed, "But there's someone who hasn't made an attempt yet... Nereida, Go, do it. You show us how it's done." she smiled at him, it was meant to be reassuring, he knew that, but now there was pressure behind doing well.

Nereida didn't speak, focussing on calming himself and taking deep breaths to prepare. He'd done a capella and non lexical singing for years, he could match the notes in a response call. He could do this.

He gave it his best shot, he felt like he did well, belting out the long notes and hitting the same beats Jish did with his calls, but Jish didn't respond. Nereida felt himself turn red. John laughed, and one of the research assistants knocked his shoulder to shut him up.

"Hey, calm it, you did a good job-" Marney had started to try and comfort him, but Jish interupted,

Swimming back towards the ship and calling again, no decorations to it or tone markers Nereida could use to parse what he meant. When it took too long to get a response Jish repeated himself, and then again.

John called back while Nereida just stared over the edge of the railing at the massive sea monster that now seemed way more interested in them than it had before.

John's call was met with a snarling bark. A sound so obviously hostile no one needed Nereida to translate.

They hadn't avoided talking before, but now the group was silent. Marney elbowed Nereida, gesturing for him to try again.

He shook his head, she gestured more adamantly, pumping her fists in a mock cheer one of the other behaviorists picked up on and began mimicking, until the entire group, John included, was doing it too.

Nereida tried again. His nerves made his voice crack a quarter of the way through, far from the perfect performance he'd given last time.

Jish was staring at him. It was so obvious Jish was Staring at him. Jish called, coming as close to the retired and repurposed yacht as he could without being buffeted by its wake. Easily able to keep up with it as he called and chirped something Nereida didn't know how to translate.

Nereida called again. Jish seemed to get more excited. Singing out something that again tested Nereida's memory of their songs. He'd heard it before, but its response wasn't a mimic in that one recording, it was a compliment to it. He couldn't remember the notes, there'd been a trill he knew he wouldn't be able to replicate- He tried anyways.

Jish repeated it back, diving below the water and breaching again a moment later. The action reminding Nereida of a dog bounding around in the yard purely because it had too much energy. Josh called one last time. A good bye Nereida repeated back to him before he disappeared into the depths. the dark blot of his form turning and darting back the way they had come.

"So we all agree something just happened right? Right? Something Did just happen and our boy Nereida has explaining to do?" John piped up.

"I think I would like to throw myself overboard now," Nereida wanted everyone to stop looking at him. He didn't do anything impressive, J-15H just like his voice better or he was able to fake the tones well enough to be entertaining or something else.

"No, no, you already agreed to come to my office," Marney put her hand on his shoulder and started guiding him back towards the cabins.

"Wait, You have an office? Why do you have an office on the boat? I don't have an-"

"Please shut up, John," one of the behavioralists stopped him with a hand on his shoulder.

Marney rolled her eyes, hoping to lighten Nereida's mood, but he was too busy spiraling from overstimulation and the sort of embarrassment only unlocked by deeply self-conscious people after doing something mildly impressive and attention grabbing.

PSA: Human Connection and the Invention of the Internet!

By: Annauncement

Ray Tomlinson holding up his creation, the @ sign, posing for the Guinness World Records.

Computer technology has advanced fast – seventy years ago, a computer was the size of a room and performed only calculations. Now, we carry the largest, most interconnected web of networks and information the world has ever seen within our pockets. Show a smartphone to someone working the Apollo Guidance Computer in the 1950s, and you would cause quite a shock!

The Internet is no different in this regard. The article “How the Internet was Invented” by Ben Tarnoff explains how the invention of the Internet evolved from a military project to the ‘vast and formless’ digital universe of today. To simplify immensely, the Internet began when the US agency ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency) wanted to utilize a wireless network to communicate with their wired computer system to serve soldiers on the front lines anywhere in the world. Eventually, in Silicon Valley at a Rossotti’s Alpine Inn in 1976, a protocol was successfully implemented that allowed both wired and wireless networks to communicate.

What happened next?

APRANET - as it was called - was a military creation, and since the USA military was everywhere, the APRANET was designed to run everywhere. APRANET was designed for connection, and this flexible protocol meant that “channels as dissimilar as radio waves and copper telephone lines” could communicate large distances.

Despite this new governmental power, the Internet only took off once the civilian population started using it. Even Don Nielson, one of the original ARPA researchers who first implemented the program in 1976, said, "... [it] was absolutely startling to me: the clamor of wanting to be present in this new world.”

Rossotti's Alpine Inn

What made the Internet so popular?

The answer is surprisingly simple – emails. In 1972, the first ‘email’ had already been created by a Ray Tomlinson to send messages between computers in the same network. When APRANET was implemented, emails could now be sent across multiple networks, reaching far beyond the closed systems of APRA and its military research based purposes. Fifteen years later, this popular form of sharing information led to people desiring a permanent, simplified ‘space’ for digital information; and thus, the World Wide Web was created.

Why did emails popularize the Internet?

Alongside the APRANET, emails offered something that humans crave on a fundamental level: connection. Emails showed what the Internet could become – a place to communicate, share news, and even make friends with new people. With the creation of the World Wide Web and household laptops, an easily accessible digital space was born for the sole purpose of sharing information and connecting people together; first for scientists and institutions, and then the rest of the world. This space was the World Wide Web, and with it, we had created a seemingly “… boundless, borderless digital universe…”, all just to connect and learn from each other.

Humans are social animals, needing communal connections to survive – look it up, you can die from loneliness! And the Internet provided a new, vast source of connections. Fast paced communication was not new in the 1900s – radios, television, and phones had been around for decades – but the Internet could move far beyond these technologies. APRANET’s seamless transmission of data between networks meant that what medium we communicate with can be as equally huge – audio, visual, textual, even program based. The Internet could connect us in any number of means, and connect with people we did!

The Internet is by no means a utopia place of friendly people all looking to learn from each other – neither is our society, after all. However, the lesson to take away is that between using the APRANET only to fight wars, or making a digital community where we can explore our world and each other, we chose the latter. It is now a place where, among other things, diverse youth voices such as yours truly can gush gleefully about the Internet’s history and human connections.

And really, isn’t that wonderful?

Citizen Scientists Find a Star Escaping the Milky Way

Citizen science is such a great concept. Using the combined computing power of a gazillion (exaggeration) desktop and laptops to churn through data is an excellent and efficient way of analysing volumes of data. This has been shown yet again as a star has been identified to be hurtling out to intergalactic space! Most stars in the Milky Way are not travelling fast enough to be able to escape its…

5 min read How Students Learn to Fly NASA’s IXPE Spacecraft Amelia “Mia” De Herrera-Schnering is an undergraduate student at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and command controller for NASA’s IXPE mission at LASP. The large wall monitor displaying a countdown shows 17 seconds when Amelia “Mia” De Herrera-Schnering tells her teammates “We have AOS,” meaning “acquisition of signal.” “Copy that, thank you,” Alexander Pichler replies. The two are now in contact with NASA’s IXPE (Imaging X-Ray Polarimeter Explorer) spacecraft, transmitting science data from IXPE to a ground station and making sure the download goes smoothly. That data will then go to the science team for further analysis. At LASP, the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, students at the University of Colorado, Boulder, can train to become command controllers, working directly with spacecraft on pointing the satellites, calibrating instruments, and collecting data. De Herrera-Schnering recently completed her sophomore year, while Pichler had trained as a student and now, having graduated, works as a full-time professional at LASP. “The students are a key part in what we do,” said Stephanie Ruswick, IXPE flight director at LASP. “We professionals monitor the health and safety of the spacecraft, but so do the students, and they do a lot of analysis for us.” Students also put into motion IXPE’s instrument activity plans, which are provided by the Science Operations Center at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. The LASP student team schedules contacts with ground stations to downlink data, schedules observations of scientific and calibration targets, and generates the files necessary to translate the scientific operations into spacecraft actions. If IXPE experiences an anomaly, the LASP team will implement plans to remediate and resume normal operations as soon as possible. Exploring the high-energy universe The students take part in IXPE’s exploration of a wide variety of celestial targets. In October, for example, students monitored the transmission of data from IXPE’s observations of Swift J1727.8-1613, a bright black hole X-ray binary system. This cosmic object had been recently discovered in September 2023, when NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory detected a gamma-ray burst. IXPE’s specialized instruments allow scientists to measure the polarization of X-rays, which contains information about the source of the X-rays as well as the organization of surrounding magnetic fields. IXPE’s follow-up of the Swift object exemplifies how multiple space missions often combine their individual strengths to paint a fuller scientific picture of distant phenomena. Team members also conduct individual projects. For example, students analyzed how IXPE would fare during both the annular eclipse on Oct. 14, 2023, and the total eclipse that moved across North America on April 8, to make sure that the spacecraft would have adequate power while the Moon partially blocked the Sun. While most of the students working on IXPE at LASP are engineering majors, some are physics or astrophysics majors. Some didn’t initially start their careers in STEM such as flight controller Kacie Davis, who previously studied art. Prospective command controllers go through a rigorous 12-week summer training program working 40 hours per week, learning “everything there is to know about mission operations and how to fly a spacecraft,” Ruswick said. Cole Writer, an aerospace engineering student, remembers this training as “nerve-wracking” because he felt intimidated by the flight controllers. But after practicing procedures on his own laptop, he felt more confident, and completed the program to become a command controller. “It’s nice to be trained by other students who are in the same boat as you and have gone through the same process,” said Adrienne Pickerill, a flight controller who started with the team as a student and earned a Master’s in aerospace engineering at the university in May . Sam Lippincott, right, a graduate student lead at LASP, trained as a command controller for NASA���s IXPE spacecraft as an undergraduate. In the background are flight controllers Adrienne Pickerill, left, and Alexander Pichler, who also trained as students. How they got here As a teenager Writer’s interests focused on flying planes, and he saved money to train for a pilot’s license, earning it the summer after high school graduation. Surprisingly, he has found many overlaps in skills for both activities – following checklists and preventing mistakes. “Definitely high stakes in both cases,” he said. Sam Lippincott, now a graduate student lead after serving as a command controller as an undergraduate, has been a lifelong sci-fi fan, but took a career in space more seriously his sophomore year of college. “For people that want to go into the aerospace or space operations industry, it’s always important to remember that you’ll never stop learning, and it’s important to remain humble in your abilities, and always be excited to learn more,” he said. De Herrera-Schnering got hooked on the idea of becoming a scientist the first time she saw the Milky Way. On a camping trip when she was 10 years old, she spotted the galaxy as she went to use the outhouse in the middle of the night. “I woke up my parents, and we just laid outside and we were just stargazing,” she said. “After that I knew I was set on what I wanted to do.” Rithik Gangopadhyay, who trained as an undergraduate command controller and continued at LASP as a graduate student lead, had been interested in puzzles and problem-solving as a kid and had a book about planets that fascinated him.. “There’s so much out there and so much we don’t know, and I think that’s what really pushed me to do aerospace and do this opportunity of being a command controller,” he said. Coding is key to mission operations, and much of it is done in the Python language. Sometimes the work of flying a spacecraft feels like any other kind of programming — but occasionally, team members step back and consider that they are part of the grand mission of exploring the universe. “If it’s your job for a couple of years, it starts to be like, ‘oh, let’s go ahead and do that, it’s just another Tuesday.’ But if you step back and think about it on a high-level basis, it’s really something special,” Pichler said. “It’s definitely profound.” Media Contact Elizabeth LandauHeadquarters, Washington202-358-0845elandau@nasa.gov

AI-Powered Recruitment: Leveraging Technology to Find the Right IT Talent

As I settle into my home office chair, sipping my morning coffee and firing up my laptop, I can't help but marvel at how much the recruitment landscape has changed. It's 2024, and the way we find and hire IT talent has undergone a seismic shift. Gone are the days of sifting through endless resumes and hoping for the best. Welcome to the era of AI-powered recruitment, where finding the perfect candidate feels less like searching for a needle in a haystack and more like having a super-smart assistant do the heavy lifting for you.

I remember when I first started in HR, fresh-faced and armed with nothing but a stack of resumes and a gut feeling. How times have changed! Now, as I log into our AI-driven recruitment platform, I'm reminded of just how far we've come – and how exciting the future of talent acquisition looks.

The AI Revolution in Recruitment

Let me tell you, the integration of AI into our recruitment process wasn't smooth sailing from the get-go. I recall the skepticism from some of my colleagues when we first proposed implementing an AI-powered system. "But how can a machine understand the nuances of human potential?" they asked. It's a valid question, and one that I grappled with myself.

But then I met Sarah, a brilliant data scientist who opened my eyes to the possibilities. "Think of AI as your super-powered assistant," she explained, her eyes lighting up with enthusiasm. "It can process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions that would take humans weeks or even months to figure out."

And you know what? She was right. Once we took the plunge and integrated AI into our recruitment process, the results were nothing short of astounding.

The Game-Changers: AI-Powered Tools Reshaping Recruitment

1. Predictive Analytics: Crystal Ball for Hiring

One of the most impressive features of our AI recruitment system is its predictive analytics capability. It's like having a crystal ball for hiring! 

Just last month, we were struggling to fill a particularly challenging DevOps position. The AI analyzed our historical hiring data, current market trends, and even factored in things like local tech events and university graduation dates. It predicted that we'd have the best chance of finding suitable candidates if we ramped up our search efforts in the next two weeks. Lo and behold, we found our perfect match within 10 days!

2. Natural Language Processing: Reading Between the Lines

Remember the days of keyword matching on resumes? Well, those are long gone. Our AI system uses advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) to understand the context and nuances in candidate applications.

I was skeptical at first, but then I witnessed its magic firsthand. We had a candidate whose resume didn't tick all the traditional boxes for a cybersecurity role. But the AI flagged them as a strong potential fit. Curious, I dug deeper. It turns out the system had identified relevant projects and skills buried in the candidate's experience that a human recruiter might have missed. We ended up hiring them, and they've been an absolute star performer!

3. Chatbots and Virtual Assistants: 24/7 Candidate Engagement

One of my favorite AI tools is our recruitment chatbot, affectionately named "Robo-Recruiter" by the team. This little wonder has transformed our candidate engagement process.

Just the other day, I was talking to Mark, a software engineer we recently hired. "You know what really impressed me?" he said. "I had a question about the job at 2 AM, and your chatbot was there to help. It made me feel valued right from the start."

It's moments like these that remind me of the human touch AI can bring to the recruitment process. Ironic, isn't it?

4. Video Interview Analysis: Beyond the Surface

Video interviews have become the norm, especially for initial screenings. But our AI takes it a step further. It analyzes candidates' facial expressions, tone of voice, and even the words they choose to use.

I was initially concerned about the ethical implications of this. Aren't we invading privacy? But then I spoke with Dr. Chen, an AI ethics expert. "The key is transparency," she advised. "As long as candidates are aware and consent to the analysis, it can provide valuable insights that complement human judgment."

We've since implemented clear disclosure policies, and the results have been fascinating. The AI has helped us identify candidates with strong communication skills and cultural fit that might not have been apparent on paper.

Challenges and Ethical Considerations

Now, it hasn't all been smooth sailing. We've faced our fair share of challenges and ethical dilemmas along the way.

One of the biggest hurdles was addressing bias in AI algorithms. I remember the day we realized our AI was subtly favoring candidates from certain universities. It was a wake-up call. We worked closely with our data science team to retrain the model and implement rigorous fairness checks.

There's also the question of data privacy. With AI processing so much personal information, how do we ensure we're respecting candidates' privacy? It's a constant balancing act, but one that's crucial to get right.

The Human Touch in an AI World

As amazing as our AI tools are, I'm a firm believer that they should augment, not replace, human recruiters. There's still no substitute for human intuition and emotional intelligence in the hiring process.

I love telling the story of how we hired our current CTO. On paper, she wasn't the most qualified candidate. But during the interview, she displayed a level of passion and innovative thinking that our human recruiters picked up on immediately. The AI had ranked her lower in the initial screening, but the human element made all the difference.

It's a powerful reminder that the future of recruitment isn't about AI versus humans – it's about AI and humans working together to find the best talent.

Looking to the Future

As I wrap up my workday and shut down my laptop, I can't help but feel excited about what the future holds for AI in recruitment. We're already experimenting with VR for remote assessments and AI-driven onboarding processes.

But more than the technology itself, I'm thrilled about the possibilities it opens up. By automating the time-consuming parts of recruitment, we're freeing up HR professionals to focus on what really matters – building relationships, fostering company culture, and ensuring we're not just hiring skills, but building teams.

So, as we navigate this brave new world of AI-powered recruitment, let's embrace the technology, but never lose sight of the human element. After all, at its core, recruitment is about people – and that's something no AI can fully replicate.

Here's to finding the perfect blend of artificial intelligence and human intuition in our quest for top IT talent. The future of recruitment is here, and it's more exciting than ever!

Diving Into the World of Quantum Computing

Diving into the World of Quantum Computing A quantum computer could be a game-changer. Such machines exploit the strange behavior of atoms to process information more quickly and accurately than digital computers can, speeding up drug discovery and development, cracking encryption, revolutionizing financial markets modeling and simulations, enabling faster machine learning, developing revolutionary materials and even helping us address climate change.

These aren’t fanciful predictions; they’re already beginning to play out, albeit on a smaller scale. Investment dollars are pouring in, and quantum-computing technology viewer website start-ups are proliferating. Major technology companies, including IBM, Google and Microsoft, are racing to develop their quantum capabilities. And scientists like those at CU Boulder are working hard to design qubits, the fundamental building blocks of quantum computers.

The idea of a quantum computer might sound intimidating, but it’s really just an extremely advanced version of the basic computer architecture that has powered desktop and laptop computers for decades. A quantum computer has the potential to process more data than a classical computer because it works in multiple states at once, or “superpositions,” rather than taking the time to run through all possible paths in a maze one at a time.

So far, the research community has focused on creating a physical model of a quantum computer by implanting atoms into crystals and other structures that are specially designed to trap them. Researchers at CU Boulder and elsewhere are using optical tweezers to gently manipulate neutral atoms, assembling them into complex lattices that can be tech server controlled by laser beams. Others have fabricated qubits from superconducting circuits and trapped ions.

Ultimately, the goal is to build quantum-computing software that is as user-friendly and accessible as the programs on your conventional computer. That’s a huge challenge, as quantum-computing algorithms can be very complex. The software that will power quantum computers will need to be able to take advantage of qubits’ peculiar properties while keeping them error-free.

Some of the earliest quantum-computing applications will involve pattern recognition, data analytics and risk management. For example, banks and insurance companies will need reliable ways to detect fraud by identifying entities or patterns in large data sets. And retailers will need efficient methods for performing complex calculations, such as analyzing organic traffic patterns to improve marketing efforts or determining the best routes for freight delivery.

To be ready for the future, businesses should consider incorporating quantum computing into their projections and begin making preparations now. These include building the digital infrastructure that will support quantum computing, making relevant data available in digital databases and establishing workflows that are capable of running on quantum hardware. Those who are most prepared will have a leg up on competitors as the full impact of quantum computing becomes clearer. As with the microscope and telescope that van Leeuwenhoek used, the more we explore the quantum world, the more wonders we’ll find—perhaps even a shortcut to understanding black holes or star constellations millions of light years away.
