As a medical device designer, Mary Beth Privatera lives at the intersection of design and science. These two worlds, while both incredibly creative, fall on different ends of the spectrum in many areas: risk-taking, regulation, expectations, process speed, and many others. In her talk, Mary Beth Privatera discusses what these two industries can learn from each other as well as where they intersect.
