I found out about a 3-part series of animated videos called, “The Experimenters,” from Joe Hanson of “It’s Okay to Be Smart.” I haven’t watched them all, but I really like the one for Jane Goodall. It’s short – about six and a half minutes – but it encapsulates all that is delightful about this primatology pioneer. For example, her dreams of working in Africa began when she read Tarzan. She does not discount the possibility that a Yeti may exist. And she managed to go straight from having no degree to getting a Ph.D. from Cambridge. What’s not to love?
Inspire a future scientist by showing him or her this video about a woman who has always followed her instinct, despite those who disapproved.
