E262 - Robotic boots are walking the walk

This week on the show, we talk about how the Stanford exoskeleton walks out into the real world. We also answer some questions from the community about some of the most important qualities a UX/HF researcher must have, how to improve skills in a Junior role, and we assess how UX/HF leadership compares to other departments.

Check out the latest from our sister podcast - 1202 The Human Factors Podcast -on Proactive Learning - An interview with Dr Marcin Nazaruk:
