Welcome to "HFIG Talks..." a podcast produced by the Human Factors Interest Group at the University of Toronto. HFIG is a student chapter of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) and consists mainly of students and faculty members who are affiliated with the University of Toronto and local professionals who are interested in the field of Human Factors.

In each episode of our podcast, we will be discussing a different human factors-related topic. In this first episode, we decided to highlight what the public knows (or doesn't know) about human factors.  So we decided to ask our friends and family: what is human factors, and how have you experienced human factors in your work and daily life? We also share an expert's opinion from Prof. Mark Chignell, HFIG's faculty advisor.

We hope you enjoy our podcast, and thanks for listening!
