February 18, 2022 – Exploring Jane’s Scientific Legacy
In February, we will learn how ethologist and activist Dr. Jane Goodall’s work with chimpanzees in Africa redefined the practices of primatology, the study of non-human primates. Where is the field of primatology today? Join us in conversation with Dr. Craig Stanford, Professor of Biological Sciences and Anthropology at USC, and Candace Sclimenti, Curator of Mammals at the L.A. Zoo, as they discuss the changes in the field and the current state of wild and captive chimpanzee colonies with moderator Patt Morrison.
