'Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.' - Voltaire Science begins with questions, and I am filled with encouragement, wonder, and enthusiasm by the questions I am seeing from students and we haven't even had a full first week! #inquiringminds

Animals have played a critical role in shaping cultures around the world for thousands of years. We work hard to improve their lives while these efforts similarly transform ours.

One of the most rewarding parts of my job is finding opportunties for students in my lab that align with their interests. Here are some recent examples of deeply valuable opportunities for them as the students become the teacher! Here, Morgan is discussing animal learning!

Temple Grandin sees doors as symbols of challenges we must face to move forward. As the semester ends, you may feel tired or uncertain about what's next. You've got this, and you're not alone!! #keepgoing #notalone

The late Dr. Bernie Rollin likened animal caretakers to the Good Shepherd, emphasizing their vital role in improving animals' lives. To all animal caretakers, your work is deeply important and necessary. We salute you! 🐑❤️ #AnimalCare #GoodShepherd

Spoke with New Mexico Cattle Growers this week about the value of cattle handling. It’s not just a job—it’s a lifelong pursuit of understanding. Knowledge earned through time on the ground, learning with animals. Skill, care, and presence—day in and day out. #CattleHandling

At #USPLF2025, I spoke about sustainability in animal systems, and what it means to integrate people, animals, and tech. Sustainability must account for lived experience. Animals build trust with people, not machines. Let’s design systems that reflect that.

At a recent Extension meeting, my grad students shared projects on preparing youth and undergrads to talk about animal welfare. In presenting, they practiced the same skill: translating animal welfare science for real-world application. #AnimalWelfare #NExt #extraordinary
