Beyond Ergonomics
The science of work, told from the inside. Ten episodes. Researchers, engineers, and the questions that touch your body, your work, and your daily life.
Il lavoro, il corpo, il futuro · Produced in Italian · Un podcast di Federica Masci
The feeling has a name. And a solution almost no one is talking about.
Have you ever ended a workday feeling not just tired, but emptied? That is not burnout folklore. It is a measurable, preventable physiological response, and ergonomics is the science that has been studying it for decades.
I started this podcast because the research exists, the solutions exist, and almost none of it reaches the people who need it most.
Beyond Ergonomics starts from real news, asks questions that land in your body, and brings in the researchers and experts quietly changing things from the inside.
Because the future of work still has a body.
Season 1 · 10 episodes · Three formats: visionary foresight, technical deep-dives, systemic perspectives.
What we are asking
Ten questions about work, the body, and the future. Some are already in production. Others are still locked.
Why are you so tired?
The human code of fatigue, and why the answer is not more sleep.
Offices built for different brains
What neurodiversity means for workplace design, and what most organisations get wrong.
When the machine understands your body better than you do
Wearables, biosignals, and the new science of reading stress in real time.
If work follows you everywhere, where do you end?
The blurred boundary between life and labour, and what ergonomics says about it.
Safety at zero gravity
What space ergonomics teaches us about designing for extreme environments on Earth.
Five more questions
Algorithms, aging, AI, humanity, and what comes after human-centered design.
