Agriculture, autism and education

Renowned animal scientist Temple Grandin shares her remarkable story with students at Mizzou

Story by TF Staff

Known for revolutionizing animal welfare practices and broadening public understanding of autism, Dr. Temple Grandin recently visited the University of Missouri in Columbia to share her story of overcoming obstacles to become a world-class animal scientist.

With a multi-stop schedule on June 25, Grandin visited with more than 300 students from the Missouri Scholars Academy, hosted a community event on best practices in cattle handling at Mizzou’s Beef Research and Teaching Farm and toured the Jefferson Farm and Garden Extension Center.

She also gave an overview of her newest book, The Grandin Papers, a collection of her research materials that gives insight into her groundbreaking work in livestock welfare and behavior.

A longtime professor at Colorado State University, Grandin has spent her distinguished career championing practices that help keep cattle calm and healthy while serving as a role model for others who, like her, live with autism. During her Mizzou visit, Grandin made a point to recognize the university’s commitment to hands-on learning—a way of teaching and learning she said opens doors for people with autism.
