iPhD Student Kimberly Perkins: Piloting Toward Psychological Safety
When people think about safety on airplanes, they’re probably thinking about oxygen masks, pilot training, or airport security. What they’re probably not thinking of, is bias.
But that’s what doctoral student Kimberly Perkins wants people to be thinking about. Perkins has seen how cognitive biases impact safety on airplanes, and she wants the industry to pay just as much attention to this as it does to other safety protocols.
