The Incredible Journey of Jane Goodall
How are we to know that every adventurer, every pioneer, has had hardship if we don’t share those stories with those trying to follow in their footsteps?
Dr. Jane Goodall is a British primatologist who is widely considered the world’s primary expert on chimpanzees. Let’s take a look at the story of how she got here. It’s a beautiful tale of what happens when a passion becomes a life-long labor of love!
Why It Matters
Jane Goodall is a testament to what grit and passion can do to change the world. Her work irrevocably changed how we see ourselves as a part of the natural world, and for that alone she has altered the course of history.
Perhaps what is most remarkable about Jane Goodall’s story is its relatability. She set off into the world with a passion, and defying all conventions of how one becomes a scientific researcher, she became one of the most prominent and well-known researchers in the modern era.
How are we to know that possibility exists out there if we do not share the stories of those who have opened up the doors before us and set out on journies to break down barriers?
