Legend has it that when Jane Goodall learned to crawl, she hid in a henhouse to watch a chicken lay an egg. Over the next 91 years until her passing this week, she devoted her life to reshaping the way we perceive humans' closest living biological relatives and the natural world at-large. RIP JG. 🙏

Congress told us to “Go Fund Yourself.”
And with your help, we can.
Our federal funding might be gone, but we’re still here. Public media needs your support now more than ever.

Since 1967, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting has helped make all of your favorite docs, children's programming, trusted news, and more possible. Now that Congress has defunded public media, CPB will cease to exist. We'll pause today on 📻 (11:59a) and 📺 (7p) to reflect on this historic loss.

"If you asked the people in Andover... whether they knew that in 1925, the Shawsheen Football Club won the National Challenge Cup and was the best soccer team in the country in that year, I think 95% of people would say, 'I had no idea.'" (via @gbhnews.bsky.social)
100 years ago, a soccer team from Andover was the best in the country. Then it disappeared.
The town celebrates the centennial of winning a national championship on Sunday.

56 years ago this week, Judy Griffin took a risk by hitchhiking to Woodstock after her car broke down. She poked her head into the window of a nearby 1967 VW Beetle and asked for a ride. Jerry was in the back seat. Half a century, two sons and five grandchildren later, the two are still together.
