We are delighted to announce that Dr Lisa Morgans has recently joined the DIAL team, fresh from defending her PhD at the University of Bristol where she researched a farmer-led, participatory approach to changing practice around antimicrobial use on UK dairy farms. Her PhD recently won the Antibiotic Guardian Award for research and Lisa hopes that the approach will spread and give other farmers the opportunity to learn from one another and innovate on farm.

As part of DIAL, Lisa will be assisting with interviews and qualitative analysis to understand the needs and perspectives of the industry when it comes to diagnostics in farming.
