Data scientists will be using or authoring features in Feast. They can similarly generate in memory dataframes using `get_historical_features(...).to_df()` or larger datasets with methods like `get_historical_features(...).to_bigquery()` as described above.

Data scientists will be using or authoring features in Feast. By using Feast, data scientist can:
522+
- Re-use existing features that are already productionized
523+
- Gain inspiration from other related models and the features they use
524+
- Organize model experiments using `FeatureService`s
525+
- (in upcoming modules) Directly author features or transformations that are used at serving time (instead of having MLE have to re-engineer)

We don't need to do anything new here since data scientists will be doing many of the same steps you've seen in previous user flows.

- This is **not recommended** since data scientists cannot register feature services to indicate they depend on certain features in production.

- **[Recommended]** Have a local copy of the feature repository (e.g. `git clone`) and author / iterate / re-use features.

Data scientists can also investigate other models and their dependent features / data sources / on demand transformations through the repository or through the Web UI (by running `feast ui`)
