We know less about Earth’s seabed than the moon’s surface.” Full story via Chronicle→ Look Back In November 1995, renowned primatologist Jane Goodall spoke at MIT to a capacity audience of more than 500 in Room 10-250 (and in overflow space out in the hall). In a talk sponsored by the MIT List Visual Arts Center in connection with an exhibit on great apes, Goodall recalled her life in science and her decades-long work with chimpanzees in Africa. She followed the talk by signing autographs for many of the MIT community members in attendance. Goodall, who continued to speak around the world on environmental conservation for the next 30 years, died last week at age 91. Photo: The Tech.
