Dr. Goodall, you were a total badass. Thank you so much for everything. You'll always be our patron saint of primatology, but more than that, you'll always be the kind lady who took the time to encourage a bunch of budding scientists to love the science. (5/5)

I called my class over, we took the pic, and she never stopped smiling at us. We thanked her profusely (and apologized to her assistant), and my professor gave me 100 extra credit points - a full letter grade for that class - for pulling it off. (4/5)

I asked for a pic. She began agreeing with an enthusiastic "Oh, of course!" Until her assistant tried to stop her.
"Jane, we don't have time--" "WE HAVE TIME." There it was, the primal look I bet she adopted over decades. (3/5)

As the crowd dispersed and my class sank in disappointment, I decided to just go for it and got to the rope barrier to greet her on her way out. She was so happy to hear I was there as an ecology student and was ecstatic to see the rest of my class across the crowd. (2/5)
