Abstract
John Weston Suttie was a pioneering scientist who had substantial impacts within and beyond the nutrition community. His service as AIN president, editor of society journals, and respected contributor to national committees establishing nutrient requirements continues to positively impact ASN members and the public at large. As president of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB), his advocacy for working scientists still benefits the broader biomedical sciences research community. He was a highly respected member of the Biochemistry and Nutritional Sciences departments at the University of Wisconsin, Madison (UW-Madison), for more than 40 years. John was most widely known for his outstanding contributions in defining the process of blood clotting, primarily regarding the mechanism of action and metabolism of vitamin K. He was an extraordinary scholar and scientist who not only received many honors but took them seriously, in that he used them to forge a pathway to make deep and long-lasting contributions to the nutrition and wider biomedical sciences communities at the local, national, and international levels (1, 2).
