91°µÍø

For Episode 56 we talk to Dr Rowena Packer who is a BBSRC Research Fellow here at the 91°µÍø.

We discuss what led her interest in perusing animal welfare science, and how she came to do her PhD at the 91°µÍø and what this has led to along the way.  Her research into breed confirmation and why people might choose those breeds is on-going and fascinating. She has now moved into looking at canine epilepsy and behavioural co-morbidities.

We hope that you enjoy listening to our conversation as much as we enjoyed recording it, inspiring, interesting and informative.
