Meet the Fetch Faculty Temple Grandin, PhD, MS: Part 1

According to Temple Grandin, PhD, MS, professor of animal science at Colorado State University, an important epiphany she had earlier in life was that while many people think in words, she thinks in pictures. In this dvm360® interview, she described how maximizing this skill inspired her involvement with animal well-being initiatives as animals live in a sensory-based world as well.
