But much of it involved the study and analysis of social context and workplace organization as part of the process of finding and fitting innovative solutions into actual use.</p> <p>“I’d like to thank the designers, engineers, scientists, clinicians, and humanities scholars who all lent their knowledge and skills to the project.”</p> <h3><a href="/news/u-t-researchers-mobilize-resources-produce-equipment-health-care-workers">Read more about TEDA</a></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">UTC</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Wed, 14 Oct 2020 20:38:10 +0000 lanthierj 166023 at
