Jane Goodall's very first experience as a scientist

Since 1960, Jane Goodall has been synonymous with wild chimpanzee study, conservation, and advocacy for hope. Her life experiences and the stories she shares are central to her identity, reflecting a scientific curiosity that began in childhood.

In an interview on "Dispatches from The Well," Jane discussed the significance of stories, recounting a childhood memory at age four. She patiently observed a hen laying an egg, an experience she views as foundational to becoming a scientist: asking questions, seeking answers, learning from mistakes, and developing patience.
