A Life Dedicated to Science, Animals, and Truth

From New York City to global scientific leadership.

Meet the scientist whose research has influenced animal welfare practices across the world.

John J. McGlone grew up in suburban New York City with a passion for animals and a curiosity about how science could improve their lives. After studying at Washington State University and the University of Illinois, he embarked on a distinguished academic career spanning more than four decades.

As a professor, researcher, and international lecturer, Dr. McGlone conducted pioneering studies in:

  • Animal welfare
  • Animal behavior
  • Animal physiology
  • Food safety
  • Agricultural sustainability
  • Consumer education
  • Livestock production systems

His work has influenced producers, veterinarians, policymakers, educators, and consumers around the world.

Recently retired from Texas Tech University, Dr. McGlone continues to write, educate, and speak about science-based solutions that improve both animal welfare and human health.

His memoir offers readers a rare behind-the-scenes look at how scientific discoveries are made and how evidence—not emotion—can guide meaningful progress.
