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 has partnered with the American Institute of Physics' Inside Science Television. ISTV produces 90-second science news spots that air on more than 60 local TV stations throughout the United States. Visit the HFES/ISTV 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.
