That’s a question I have never known the answer to. To  give an accurate answer, I need to understand the question. When we are asked this as kids, we are expected to state the job of our dreams. We learn that what we are when we grow up is what we do for work. So , when I grew up and I still didn’t know what I wanted to do for work, I felt like I lacked an identity. Entering the workforce after university was daunting, especially when I didn’t know...]]></description><link>https://www.justifyglobal.org/post/leaving-the-lab-to-find-myself</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69a5e86ddbf20e87e61bf0fd</guid><pubDate>Mon, 02 Mar 2026 20:30:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/5c7114_fe3c2b2541ae4a71a67ff0c4210e7740~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Emily [Guest Blog]</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reflecting on a decade in academic neuroscience ]]></title><description><![CDATA[At dinner over the holidays, my mother-in-law asked me what happened to “the rats”, as she affectionately called the subjects of my postdoc research, which had ended in March. This was a light-hearted question, and “they went to the gas chamber” was not a light-hearted answer, but it was the truth.  I didn’t say more than that, but these rats were lucky compared to others. The topic quickly changed.  For an academic career of 11 years, I toughed out what I have recently learned to call moral...]]></description><link>https://www.justifyglobal.org/post/reflecting-on-a-decade-in-academic-neuroscience</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6970403454e2da6562491dd9</guid><pubDate>Wed, 21 Jan 2026 18:38:55 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/5c7114_f6fdaa3363f24f99ac3ab9c9c8c1f260~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_824,h_502,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Matthew Bryson, PhD [Guest Blog]</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Honoring Jane Goodall]]></title><description><![CDATA[Before she became one of the most influential advocates for animals and the preservation of the natural world, many people might not know that Jane Goodall had previously spent time in research labs. What she saw changed the course of her life. That early experience revealed the reality of what animals in labs endure and ignited an unshakable conviction to create change.  Her decision to speak out transformed primatology and the global conversation around ethics in science.

On the surface, it sounds supportive and acknowledging of the emotional toll of working inside labs.   But in reality, the term has become a tool to deflect responsibility away from the system itself and onto the workers who are inside it. Here’s what actually happens. Staff in laboratories are placed in morally and ethically devastating environments. Some witness suffering. Others are...]]></description><link>https://www.justifyglobal.org/post/when-compassion-fatigue-is-weaponized-in-animal-labs</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68f1343550873aaf5dafea74</guid><pubDate>Thu, 16 Oct 2025 18:28:17 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/5c7114_c68edd4cb6494a0faf75c9b9ed8477db~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_810,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Lindsay Oliver, Justify President &amp; CEO</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Science I Was Trained to Defend—and Why I Don’t Anymore]]></title><description><![CDATA[During my first year in the neuroscience Ph.D. Program, I sat down with my major professor to decide what kind of experiments I would...]]></description><link>https://www.justifyglobal.org/post/the-science-i-was-trained-to-defend-and-why-i-don-t-anymore</link><guid isPermaLink="false">68e80be8f99b368a71d8d527</guid><pubDate>Fri, 10 Oct 2025 18:19:04 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/5c7114_54a9127a38884dbda720231ae03944ea~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Emily R.
