Jane Goodall was one of a few people to earn a PhD without an undergraduate degree.
It was thought that her lack of formal academic training would allow her to remain unbiased by traditional thought and study the chimps with an open mind.
It worked. ❤️
Today, the UN family mourns the loss of Dr. Jane Goodall.
The scientist, conservationist and UN Messenger of Peace worked tirelessly for our planet and all its inhabitants, leaving an extraordinary legacy for humanity and nature.
Jane Goodall has died at 91.
Her startling observations about chimpanzee behaviors revolutionized not only scientific understanding of the capabilities and inner lives of primates, but also long-held notions about what it means to be human. https://t.co/axM4A5nkhh
Saddened by this tragic news of UNEP colleague, Dave Cole 😞.
My heart goes out to his family and friends. Not only an environmental comms champ but a talented photographer and a great guy. RIP
