Autorenporträt
Emily Patterson-Kane trained as a behavioral psychologist in New Zealand at Waikato University and Victoria University of Wellington. She held the Killam Postdoctoral Fellowship to research the environmental needs of laboratory rodents at the University of British Columbia. Her published research investigates many aspects of animal cruelty, animal welfare assessment, and animal welfare history and education. Emily first took the role of Animal Welfare Scientist at the American Veterinary Medical Association and is currently employed as a director of research at the American Society for the Protection of Animals. She co-authored the Sciences of Animal Welfare and Rethinking the American Animal Rights Movement (Routledge, 2022). (Shown with Vienna, her canine collaborator). Emily's website can be found at www.EmilyPattersonKane.com. Tina Rich is a generalist scientist, which is a rare and adaptive thing in today's largely specialist world. After obtaining a PhD in Immunology from Birkbeck College (University of London), she took postdoctoral posts at the Brain Tumor Research Center (UCSF, San Francisco), the Laboratoire d'lmmunogénétique Moléculaire (Institut des Cordeliers, Paris), the Pathology Department of the University of Cambridge (UK), and won tenure at the University of Glasgow, where she was recruited to the Veterinary Medicine's Institute of Comparative Medicine (ICM), supported by an RCUK fellowship. At the latter university, Tina's involvement in the ICM began an ongoing interest in nonhuman animal health and welfare. Since then she has worked as a writer and editor, paralegal, and strategic contributor to nonprofit organizations who have a focus on the welfare of the environment and animals. At this stage of her globe-trotting, Tina lives in New Jersey with two dogs and two cats, all of whom clearly communicate their welfare wants and needs.
