On Tuesday, Sept. 11, Nueva hosted ethologist, scientist, and activist Dr. Jane Goodall, who shared her inspiring life story along with the hopes she has for a more propitious future. Lower, middle, and upper school students filed into the San Mateo campus gym. Her talk highlighted some of the most significant moments of her life, including what led her to her groundbreaking research. She also emphasized how influential the supportive people in her life truly were. A legend in the conservationist community, Goodall ventured from England to Tanzania in
1960, where she would open a window into the life of chimpanzees and change people’s understanding of what animals were capable of. Renowned for her revolutionary work in this field, Goodall has built a career in shared insight into the pressing matter of species and habitat deterioration and promoted the importance of species conservation. She began by describing her early childhood, sharing stories that revealed her boundless curiosity with nature and science. She also acknowledged how impactful her mother’s early influence was.
