Outreach Resources for HFES Members
This section is intended to assist HFES members in informing the media about the value and contributions of the human factors/ergonomics field.
HFES participates in the American Institute of Physics' Discoveries and Breakthroughs Inside Science. DBIS produces 90-second science news spots that air on more than 60 local TV stations throughout the United States. Visit the HFES/DBIS page to view footage of HF/E-related science news. If you have a newsworthy story that you'd like HFES to submit, read the story idea submission guidelines.
