We welcomed Dr. Temple Grandin, a renowned animal scientist, author, and autism advocate, to campus last week for a day of conversations with students, faculty, and the community.

Grandin shared insights from her groundbreaking work in animal behavior and welfare, as well as her experiences with neurodiversity and innovation.

Thank you to @vt_ansci, @vt_alce, @vt_psychology, and @vtautismcenter for making her visit possible! Temple Grandin speaks to an audience from a podium during her visit to Virginia Tech.

When your son gives you the soundtrack for your flow.

Ise is number one in his class, Animal Science Program, at @Virginia.Tech and a soloist on “Lollipop” with The TechNotes, out now on Spotify. That’s his voice you’re hearing.

There’s no greater inspiration than family. Coach E, who didn’t just stand by me but became a Pilates instructor himself. My kids and my grandkids, all out here doing great things in this big world.

They’re the fuel I need to show up for my clients every day and give them 100 percent of my dedication and attention, because there are little eyes watching Mommy and G-Ma do her thing 🩶
