Biography
Dr. John Weinzirl, professor and scientist, was born in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, in 1870. He was educated at the River Falls Normal School, Wisconsin, and later at the University of Wisconsin, where he received his Bachelor of Science degree in 1896, Master of Science degree in 1899, and Doctorate in 1906. Weinzirl came to New Mexico in 1896 after contracting tuberculosis. In New Mexico, Weinzirl found work as an assistant biology professor at the University of New Mexico. During the following decade, Weinzirl taught at UNM, helped to advance scientific teaching standards at the university, and sought a cure for tuberculosis. He was promoted to Professor of Biology and Chemistry in 1900 and was known as a hard but fair teacher. During his tenure at UNM, Weinzirl was also the director of the Hadley Climatological Laboratory. In 1907, Weinzirl worked as a chemist for the city of Albuquerque. Later in 1907, Weinzirl accepted a teaching appointment at the University of Washington in Seattle where he continued his research into a cure for tuberculosis. Weinzirl's commitment to tuberculosis research was manifested in the more than forty-five articles on tuberculosis, public health, bacteriology, and climatology he wrote over the course of his career. Weinzirl died in Seattle in 1935.
