Temple Grandin

Although we haven't read anything in class by Temple Grandin, I thought I should post a bit about her because of her work which revolutionized how cattle are handled. Grandin is an autistic woman who became extremely passionate about cattle after spending a summer on her aunt's farm. The rest is history. She went to Franklin Pierce College and got a bachelor's degree in psychology. She eventually went on to get her master's and doctorate degrees, both in animal sciences. She is an absolutely fascinating woman and I would recommend watching the HBO movie based off of her life. There is also a documentary about her life on youtube called the woman who thinks like a cow. Here is the link to that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46ycu3JFRrA

If you don't know much about her, I would definitely suggest doing a little bit of research and find out more about this amazing woman. Take the time to watch the movies, it's well worth it!
