"And how infinitely grateful I should be, if, in my life´s work, I could find one small “up-current” which might lift some other scientist to a point from which he could see a little further than I do." - Konrad Z. Lorenz A lovely parting souvenir I found in a charity shop in Edinburgh🤍

The Jane Goodall Institute of Canada has learned this morning, Wednesday, October 1st, 2025, that Dr. Jane Goodall DBE, UN Messenger of Peace and Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, has passed away due to natural causes. She was in California as part of her speaking tour in the United States.

Parecia impossível pensar nisto uns meses atrás, mas esta semana defendi a minha tese de doutoramento. Tenho tanto a agradecer a tanta gente que me ajudou durante estes anos dentro e fora do laboratório. E sem dúvida à educaçao pública que sem ela não teria nunca chegado aqui. 🧠🐀🧀 #Neuroscience #PhD
