I really love the direction UI/UX is going in, more and more based on science. There is already good amount of work done in the human factors and ergonomics area -- I would love to see this knowledge applied to web and mobile apps.

The field of Human-Computer Interaction has been around for decades but the larger design community has not always paid much attention to the literature or embraced the scientific approach to design.
