In this webinar, we focus on the ability to work from home while still feeling part of the team. This includes leveraging technology to make real human connections from home, as well as balancing micro-transitions such that workers can better move between personal and professional spaces. This webinar will showcase findings and applications from the psychological and behavioral sciences and the field of human factors and ergonomics to identify some of the research questions that still need to be answered. 

Moderator: Fred Oswald, Rice University

Panelists (in alphabetical order):

• Tammy Allen, University of South Florida David Evans, Microsoft Michelle Robertson, Northeastern University, University of California, Berkeley Carolyn Sommerich, The Ohio State University

This event is sponsored by the National Academies Board of Human System Integration (BOHSI) and worked in conjunction with the American Psychological Association (APA) and Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES).

Have you ever thought about where to go to improve your ergonomics knowledge or skills?  Is there ergo information you’re seeking but can’t find a resource to provide it?  At HFES and AES, we are here to share information from our experts and help you sharpen those skills.  In this session, you will learn about three university-based continuing education training programs.  Representatives from Ohio State University, University of Michigan, and North Carolina State University will share information about their programs (material, objectives, target audience, format, etc.).  You will have an opportunity to ask questions and join in a discussion of the benefits and training needs of those who apply ergonomics in the workplaces.

In this presentation, Roger Dias, D., M.D., Ph.D., M.B.A will discuss how human factors methods can and should be incorporated into the design, development, and validation stages of medical extended reality (XR) applications. He will illustrate these concepts by showing his research funded by NASA/TRISH and DoD-Health Agency to develop XR-based medical training and clinical support systems for emergency care in austere environments.

Humanity is facing multiple crises of its own making including the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, land degradation, and widespread social inequality. In this webinar, we will discuss the core skills and core content that needs to be included in HFE curricula to prepare our future (and current) HFE practitioners to address the multiple crises referred to collectively as “sustainability”. In this webinar, Prof. Pereira from the Global Change Institute and the Stockholm Resilience Center will engage in a dialogue with Prof. Andrew Thatcher from the International Ergonomics Association's Future of Work Task Force about what needs to go into the curricula of HFE programs to prepare students for the challenges presented by sustainability and climate change.

In 2016, T. Sheridan published a review paper on the status and challenges of Human-Robotic Interactions (HRI), and it continues to be one of the most cited publications in Human Factors. In this most recent installment of Research to Practice, answering the “So What” question, we will have Dr. Sheridan review this paper's findings and suggest further research. Justin Croyle, from Amazon robotics, will talk about his work with robotics and some of the current and future needs he sees that practitioners need from scientists to make HRI as effective, efficient, and safe as possible.
