A Closer Look at Becoming Jane: Her Scientific Legacy
Join the next conversation live and in-person on March 25
In conjunction with the special exhibition Becoming Jane: The Evolution of Jane Goodall, NHM is hosting two after-hours programs delving deeper into her ground-breaking research and inspirational life.
The first event took place on February 18th to a sold-out audience. You can check out the conversation featuring USC Professor of Biological Sciences and Anthropology Dr. Craig Stanford and Candace Sclimenti, Curator of Mammals at the L.A. Zoo in a discussion moderated by the one and only Patt Morrison for a deep dive into the impact Dr. Goodall continues to have on the science of primatology.
Panelists recounted how Dr. Goodall's scientific insights changed the way the world saw chimpanzees. Far from peaceful primates, Dr. Goodall uncovered how much chimpanzees are just like us: complicated, emotional animals capable of violence and great compassion. Explore the impacts of her remarkable research, the inspirational effect she's had on individuals, how to say "ciao" in chimpanzee and so much more.
Guests got a behind-the-scenes look at specimens from NHM’s Mammalogy Collection from Museum curators and collections managers.
Moderated by Patt Morrison, experts in the field of primatology discussed the scientific legacy of Dr. Goodall and took questions from the audience.
Attendees took an after-hours trip through the life and accomplishments of Dr. Goodall in the Becoming Jane exhibit.
The conversation continues on March 25!
Dr. Jane Goodall's career in science ignited a passion for activism that continues to be a light for people around the world. With so many challenges facing our environment, we need the kind of community activism Dr. Goodall has championed more than ever.
Patt Morrison returns to moderate a discussion on how to best bring communities together to make positive change at home and around the world. Along with NHM's Senior Manager of Community Science Lila Higgins, Director of the Audobon Center at Debs park Marcos Trinidad and Laurel Watkins, Program Officer of Roots & Shoots, the Jane Goodall Institute's youth program empowering young people to be the change in their community. Discover how you can make a difference, take an after-hours tour of Becoming Jane: The Evolution of Jane Goodall, a behind-the-scenes look at specimens from NHM’s Community Science, and a deep dive into everything Jane.
