Over his career, Jeff has oscillated between research and practice. Now he finds himself settling into the role of "educator of practitioners": translating research for designers and developers. Come hear how the oscillation started, what the tensions are between research and practice, and how to (and NOT to) make research useful to practitioners. Some examples will come from Jeff's recent work helping practitioners design products and services for an aging population. He'll add in a few choice photos from Africa.
