Recent Successes for Animals in Research in the U.S.,
plus an update on U.S. Funded Facilities in Canada 

Justin Goodman is Senior Vice President of Advocacy and Public Policy at the bipartisan nonprofit watchdog White Coat Waste, whose sole focus is finding, exposing and defunding $20 billion a year in U.S. government-funded animal testing. For more than 20 years, he has led investigations, grassroots campaigns, and lobbying efforts that have exposed and ended taxpayer-funded experiments on dogs, cats, primates, and other animals.

His work has helped enact precedent-setting state and federal laws and policies that have shut down animal laboratories and significantly reduced or eliminated taxpayer-funded animal experiments. Goodman’s efforts are regularly cited by the U.S. Congress and featured in major media outlets including The New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Politico, CBS News, and Fox News, among others.

Goodman has co-authored peer-reviewed research on the ethical, scientific, and regulatory issues surrounding animal testing. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Connecticut and previously served as an adjunct professor of sociology at Marymount University, where he taught international study-abroad programs on illegal wildlife trafficking.
