#WomenAtColoradoState : This tribute celebrates the accomplishments of #TempleGrandin , world-renowned animal scientist and autism advocate, following a year of remarkable attention for the CSU professor. Professor Grandin has built her stellar career over more than 20 years teaching and conducting research in CSU's Department of Animal Sciences. In 2010, HBO released a biographical feature film called "Temple Grandin" based on the CSU professor's early life; the movie won seven Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe and a Peabody Award. Also last year, Professor Grandin earned a spot on TIME magazine's list of "100 Most Influential People in the World."

Dr. Grandin, who has autism, is an eminent animal scientist who specializes in livestock behavior and has pioneered the field of farm-animal welfare. Her innovations in humane handling equipment and auditing systems have changed the livestock industry, both improving producer profitability and assuring consumers about the integrity of the food system.

    I saw her movie in one of my class and I laughed and cried most of all because people didn't understand what she is going through and is shocked that she came up with these brilliant plans to help the animals.
