Reacción a "Jane Goodall, icon of primatology and environmentalism, dies"

Jane Goodall is an unrivalled icon in the field of primatology. Her contribution is undoubtedly enormous and has laid the foundations for the work of many scientists, myself included. However, I believe she should mainly be remembered for her ability to inspire others. Jane was a great primatologist, but as a person she was unique. It is difficult to assess how much our world has improved with her presence, but we undoubtedly live on a better planet thanks to her.

Her loss is a blow to species conservation and science. Jane Goodall, the primatologist, will continue to be talked about for many years to come, but her legacy will live on forever. She leaves us with the inspiration of an extraordinary, deeply meaningful and well-lived life.
