About this listen
In this episode, Eoin Ryan shares his journey from a rural upbringing in Tipperary to his role as assistant professor at University College Dublin. He discusses the cyclical nature of farming, the challenges of retaining young vets in practice, and his involvement in teaching, clinical work, and research —highlighting the Sound Cow Innovation Programme (SCIP), which aims to improve cow mobility in Irish dairy herds through collaboration with farmers and vets.
Eoin emphasises the importance of communication in veterinary medicine, explaining how empathy and positive language are vital for building trust and engagement with farmers and students.
Enriched with personal anecdotes, practical advice for new graduates, and even a traditional Irish ballad, this conversation reflects the blend of professionalism and warmth that defines Eoin's approach and personality.
