Remembering Primatologist Jane Goodall - Science Friday
Update: 2025-10-02
Description
Jane Goodall, renowned primatologist, conservationist, and humanitarian, died on October 1 at the age of 91. Goodall was born in London in 1934, and her curiosity about the natural world led her to the forests of Gombe, Tanzania, where she made groundbreaking observations of chimpanzee behavior, including tool use. Her research challenged the accepted scientific perceptions of our closest relatives.
Host Ira Flatow shares his memories of Dr. Goodall, including an interview from 2002 in which she discussed her life and work.
