HFES @ UCF

APS and ICPS 2021 will be virtual as associations continue to deal with COVID-19. psychologicalscience.org/conventions/20…

If they cancel Spirit Splash, UCF should mail out ducks at random. Just so we could feel the rush again.

Social distancing doesn't mean that you have to put your professional development and engagement with your colleagues on hold! Save the date and virtually attend the 64th Annual Meeting of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, October 5-9, 2020! bit.ly/3ePXdot

Tuesday is newsletter day. Expect the (not so) Monthly Affordance in your inbox.

#ICanTellMyAgeBy the fact that I've been alive during all the major disasters in the human factors books.

Really considering writing a follow-up to Parasuraman & Riley (1997) called "Humans and Face Masks: Use, Misuse, Disuse, Abuse".

Please take a moment to read a message from our HFES President, Susan Hallbeck, in regard to racism, bias, diversity and inclusion: bit.ly/3dAd61t

Update: Our 64th Annual Meeting has been cancelled. But with this decision comes the very exciting news that our 64th Annual Meeting will take place over multiple days in an online setting! There will be many more details provided soon. Learn more: bit.ly/2Bv1Vcp

Any word on whether HFES will be virtual or in-person?

Technology, Mind, and Society 2020 #APATech2020 will be the latest conference to go virtual. It was originally planned for Denver in November. Some of our members are looking forward to present!

A common pitfall in user-centered design is that not all users are centered. #WednesdayWisdom

Your @hfes_ucf officers are hard at work planning some virtual activities and updates for the future. The not so monthly, but actually supposed to be monthly newsletter will be coming soon!

Struggling to come up with future research ideas? Sometimes the best inspiration comes from looking outside your field of expertise or even your academic field entirely. #research #dissertation

Congratulations to all our #Classof2020 graduating students and future human factors and ergonomics professionals at @UCF and elsewhere! Make your life story worth it! To those of you sticking around for more semesters... enjoy your two week break.

All these canceled and postponed conferences suck, but... virtual conferences mean you might get to "attend" conferences you couldn't afford to travel to (still gotta pay full registration on some, though).

@HFES_UCF is back on Twitter! Cool stuff is coming soon!
