Some of her final advice prior to her passing:
“Focus on the present and make choices today whose impact will build over time.”
she’ll definitely R.I.P. Say hello to that great big chimp/monkey/gorilla in the sky for me
King Kong?
EDIT: Oh, nevermind, I just got that.
Yeah, King Kong. That big ass dude fell a long time in the sky while he was falling.
91 impactful years. I hope to leave quarter of a legacy that she does. Rest in power.
Wasn’t just Goodall, she was Bestall
Jane was a class act, a total bad ass, and a huge inspiration for a little nature nerd (like I was at 6).
Sad to see her go, but she’s left a huge mark on science and conservation and inspired thousands.
Now I’m a big nature nerd, and work to save it. Thanks for the guiding light, Jane.

The longer I live in this magaverse, the more I understand the desire to go live with chimpanzees.
Apes together strong.
I hate every ape I see, from chimpan-ay to chimpan-zee.

If you knew anything about chimpanzees, you wouldn’t say that.
If you knew anything about the magaverse, you wouldn’t question it.
The actual civilized primates.
Their version of universal healthcare is picking the bugs off of each other, and it’s still more than is guaranteed to most Americans.
Back in the ‘90s, my grad student roommate was studying how tanzanian chimps use certain plants only for antiparasitic effect. Quite effective and too small in quantity to be food. Medicine.
…the past couple (or like… 7) decades must have been absolutely maddening.
Rest well ma’am.
And the world gets a little bit more bitter. RIP Jane ❤️🐒
