EP 146: Temple Grandin, An Open Door

Temple Grandin is a world-renowned animal behaviorist and professor of animal science at Colorado State University. She blazed many trails toward the humane treatment of livestock, and is the author of more than 60 scientific papers on animal behavior.

Dr. Grandin also has autism, and has done as much for neurodivergent people as she has for animal welfare. There’s a brand new, inspirational documentary about her that was created by today’s guests: John Festervand, Development Director at Colorado State, and John Barnhardt, Emmy Award-winning cinematographer. In this episode they discuss the making of the documentary, called "An Open Door", and offer a sneak peak into the life and work of an incredible woman. LISTEN IN!
