Kate Acton
Kate Acton is an assistant professor in veterinary education and cohost of the Conversations in Equine Science podcast, which explores evidence-based horse care through accessible, research-driven discussion. She is the lead author of a 2024 study published in Equine Veterinary Education exploring how science-based podcasts can influence equine management decisions and support animal welfare. Kate is particularly interested in how podcasting fosters para-social relationships that can support behavioural change and knowledge translation in veterinary and animal care contexts.
