Poppy Crum Joins Advisory Board for Engineering & Technology Magazine's Innovation Awards
Congratulations to Poppy Crum for joing the Advisory Board for the Engineering & Technology Magazine's Innovation Awards! Check out the interview here, in which she discusses her path from a professional violinist to her position today as a neuroscientist and technologist.
Quote from the interview: “We have different experiences of the same stimulus, whether it’s a physical stimulus or it’s a sensory stimulus,” says Poppy Crum, chief technologist for Dolby Laboratories, yet “a lot of technology has been built frankly for white men.” So engineers and developers need to think about everyone, just as an artist would, or a Hollywood producer wants as many people as possible to enjoy their work. “If you’re going to build something, don’t you want it to work the way it should?”
