E273 - A Third (Robot) Arm Might be the Future of Human Augmentation

This week on the show, we talk about the Human Factors Engineering implications of giving humans a third arm. We also answer some questions from the community about the HFES Conference and HFES Healthcare symposium, dealing with stressful stakeholder meetings, and what to do if your Sprint Planning meeting suddenly gets shifted to 5 in the morning.
