Ep 46: Alison Prendiville & service design. Antimicrobials in food animals. Bacteriuria & ICU stays.
Ready for a new episode? This month of March we bring you an interview with Alison Prendiville, Professor of Service Design at London Colleague of Communication, University of the Arts, London. With Alison, we learn the importance of co-creation and design when working with implementation, and how crucial communication in various forms is for interdisciplinary research. Tune in to learn the journey that took her from working on designing in transport to applied work on AMR, and much more.
In the news section, we talk about a recent research article estimating current trends of antimicrobial use on food-producing animals, and an article studying how antibiotic use shapes bacteriuria during COVID-19 ICU stays. In this episode we also introduce you to our new co-host, PhD student Elin Fermér. We hope you have a great time with us this month!
