Conference Coverage

This month, we had the pleasure of attending two conferences!

Check out our coverage of UXPA where we catch up with Christy Harper to hear about her experience at the conference, and how it compares with past events (pre-covid).

We also had the opportunity to attend Neuroergonomics Conference. In our preview episode, Nick and Blake look over the program and discuss the things they're interested in. 

Once Neuroergonomics Conference was over, we had a chance to sit down with some of our Human Factors Cast Digital Media Lab members and one of the co-chairs of the conference, Lewis Chuang, to discuss their experiences at the conference, as well as some of their key takeaways.
