Hour One: Jane
Goodall
In this hour of Science Friday, Ira talks with renowned
primatologist Jane Goodall about her life, work, and goals. They
also discuss a new IMAX movie featuring her work with chimpanzees
in the Gombe region of Africa.
Goodall is known for her groundbreaking studies of chimpanzees
in Africa, dating back over 40 years. Though she often returns to
the Gombe to spend time with the chimpanzees, she's also known
internationally for her outspoken activism in support of the
environment and environmental education.
