In memory of Dr. Jane Goodall—a lifelong champion for animals, empathy, and scientific integrity. Her unwavering opposition to needless animal testing reminds us that true discovery doesn’t *justify* suffering.
In memory of Dr. Jane Goodall—a lifelong champion for animals, empathy, and scientific integrity. Her unwavering opposition to needless animal testing reminds us that true discovery doesn’t *justify* suffering. At Justify, we follow in her footsteps—believing that research done with compassion, transparency, and respect for all beings is not just possible, but essential. Thank you, Dr. Goodall, for inspiring us to question the status quo and envision science rooted in kindness.

In less than two weeks, I’m returning to UW-Madison to share my story and join UW students who are raising awareness about the animals still used in labs today as well as the massive yet invisible cost that animal research has on the humans involved.

Presentation open to students and faculty!

Many of us got the opportunity to connect for the first time at #WC13!

Thanks to @whenwejustify.bsky.social former animal caretakers and scientists have been increasingly finding their voice, sharing their experiences and—in many cases—how those experiences sparked their transition toward advocacy for animal-free science. www.whenwejustify.org

As an organization made up of individuals who have lived through the trauma of working in animal labs, we know how damaging these experiences can be—not only for the animals, but for the humans tasked with carrying out the experiments. ⬇️

If you’re a current or former animal lab worker who is feeling isolated, struggling with your mental health, and/or contemplating why we justify the things we do to animals in the name of science—Justify is the community for you. 🐀

Behind the closed doors of animal research labs are not only animals suffering, but also humans—silenced by fear and stigma.

At Justify, we’re creating a safe space for lab workers to share their stories, heal from the trauma, and push for a more ethical, human-relevant future in science.

The most ethical voices in science are often the quietest—not because they lack conviction, but because speaking up can come at a cost.

At Justify, we’re making space for those voices to be heard, valued, and protected.

Together, we can shift science toward compassion, transparency, and truth.
