insights INSIGHT
Livestock Stress Thresholds
Dr. Cadaret's research focuses on common livestock stressors and their thresholds.
She investigates when animals can mitigate stress independently versus needing interventions.
insights INSIGHT
Multi-Generational Research
Multi-generational studies in livestock are crucial for understanding long-term impacts.
Traditional short-term studies don't always meet the needs of producers.
insights INSIGHT
Maternal Stress & Reproduction
Maternal nutrient challenges during pregnancy impact offspring reproduction across generations.
This affects puberty, pregnancy success, and overall herd efficiency.

In 'Rising Strong,' Brené Brown introduces a three-step process to help individuals recover from failures and setbacks. The process includes **The Reckoning**, where one recognizes and becomes curious about their emotions; **The Rumble**, where one gets honest about the stories they tell themselves and challenges these narratives; and **The Revolution**, where one integrates the learnings from the previous steps to create positive changes in their life. Brown's research, based on interviews with various individuals including leaders, artists, and parents, emphasizes the importance of vulnerability, courage, and wholehearted living. The book aims to help readers transform their lives by embracing their stories and learning from their struggles[1][3][4].

How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead
Brené Brown
In 'Daring Greatly,' Brené Brown delves into the topics of vulnerability, shame, and courage. The book, inspired by a quote from Theodore Roosevelt's 'Citizenship in a Republic' speech, argues that vulnerability is essential for living a wholehearted life. Brown discusses how vulnerability is often misunderstood as weakness, but it is actually a sign of courage. She provides insights from her research on how vulnerability affects men and women differently and offers practical advice on overcoming shame and embracing vulnerability in personal and professional life. The book emphasizes the importance of connection, shame resilience, and the distinction between guilt and shame[3][4][5].
