Yesterday, Jane Goodall (of National Geographic and chimp behavioral biology fame) visited the station. It was really amazing. She met with the researchers after lunch and gave a short talk about her current conservation efforts and the programs she is endorsing/running. It was really great to meet one of my childhood heroes and to hear her speak was awesome--she is very charismatic and passionate about what she does. She shared some nice personal stories about her life and her path in the field of behavioral biology. The best part was when she opened her talk by imitating the chimpanzee greeting call--this is apparently something she does to every group she meets! I will upload some pictures later...what a cool experience!
