The field of Human Factors emerged during World War II because of the need to improve the design of aircrafts and military equipment, while paying attention to human fatigue, perception, thinking, understanding, and usability. It's where psychology meets engineering to design processes that make it easy for people to do the right thing. Since then Human Factors has expanded into health care to improve how people interact with health systems. It’s less about creating the perfect clinician and more about designing the perfect (or at least a much better) interaction between humans and health systems.

There's an incredible number of live shows in Davis and Sacramento happening over the next seven days and this week's show highlights some of them, with tunes from Boot Juice, The Beths, Anton Barbeau, Southern Culture on the Skids, The Four Eyes, Earl Sweatshirt and more! We also pay tribute to legendary jazz drummer, pianist and composer Jack DeJohnette as well as debut a selection from Sad and Beautiful World, the new Mavis Staples album released today.
