The John Gluck Award for Scientific Integrity
For courage, honesty, and leadership in advancing ethical, human-relevant science
Presented to individuals who show exceptional integrity, courage, and honesty by speaking openly about the impacts of animal research and helping move science toward animal-free, human-relevant methods.
This award honors those who choose truth over comfort, conscience over convention, and progress over precedent.
John, this award exists because of you.
You spent decades inside a system few people ever see, and you had the courage to look honestly at its impact on animals, people, and science itself. At a time when silence was easier and safer, you chose integrity. By speaking out, you helped create space for others to question, to leave, and to imagine something better. Naming this award after you is our way of honoring not just what you do, but what you make possible.
"This honor touches my life's hope for the deep and peaceful respect of all animals in science."
Dr. John Gluck, Inaugural Recipient, 2026
