What a profound message from Jane Goodall
We don’t give up. We find hope in taking action on a daily basis. We do our best in the time we have left on this lovely planet

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.
The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

Good papers lead to more questions than they answer. That's because (as Blaise Pascal wrote) knowledge is like a sphere: the larger it gets the larger also its surface, which is its interface with the unknown.

The 3 hardest things to learn as a scientist:
1. Trust the data, even when it’s not what you expected,
2. Trust the data, allowing it to change your direction,
3. Trust the data, but not too much: test with new data at every turn.

I'm really loving visiting with family in Lahore.
I don't go out much. I just hang out with my mum, hug and kiss her, make her feel special. I hang out with my brother; he loves talking about movies. I joke around with my nephew and niece.
It's so nice to be loved unconditionally.
