It is sad that Columbus adding 1mi of protected bike lane nearly 10 years after our only 1.4mi of protected bike lane was added feels like such a big victory.

Columbus has >900,000 people and will have 2.5 miles of protected bike lane by 2025. Seriously: really un-gloat-worthy.

Great chat with Leah Stewart today about allyship in Design and Human Factors today. Lots to learn from the great work IDSA Women in Design committee and others are doing! Check them out: idsa.org/communities/se…

This is why we can't have nice things.

Well, that happened! I led a panel at #HFES2022 with Steve Dorton, Kelly Neville, Ann Bisantz and Sudeep Hegde on how Cognitive Systems Engineering can (& has) been used by practitioners to add value to projects. It got more than a little feisty! #GatewayDrug #UsVsThem #CSE4All

“It was because of human error, situational awareness, an act of God.” These blame games hinder our ability to learn from brittle failures.

The drug of UX can be quite alluring as an end when designing for complex systems. We have to go beyond the sugar high of products people enjoy, to building systems that support joint work. Another great round of Cognitive Engineering with Ann Bisantz and Mike Rayo. #HFES2022

“Humans are remarkably adaptable, thank goodness!”
Beautiful examples of real-world adaptation to the challenges of donning and doffing in a wide variety of home care settings from Shawna Perry, MD. Refreshing to see these local innovations celebrated and learned from! #HFES2022

Excellent presentation of opportunities for design improvements in PPE, derived from observations in donning/doffing in the hospital from Priya Pennathur. #HFES2022 Thank you to Dr. Emilie Roth for putting together such a stellar panel!

Whimsy is all around us ☺️

Disappointed but not surprised by the amount of people who could not describe what design thinking actually is, yet rush to defend it against any criticism

Great talk from Dr. Jordan Haggit presenting his research with Mile Two. Inspiring to see how research scientists conduct studies within industry. Always impressed how M2 continues to support joint activity within industry. Everyone should be watching them. #HFES2022
