| 0:00.0 | Jane Goodall is a legend among living scientists. |
| 0:07.0 | She's also highly accomplished in the language of chimp calls. |
| 0:11.0 | If you're lucky you hear the chimpanzee who's calling out saying |
| 0:14.6 | here I am it's a wonderful day where are you and... |
| 0:19.7 | Ohhoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo It's Tuesday, November 28th, but of course today is science Friday. I'm Sci-Fi producer Kathleen Davis. |
| 0:34.0 | We're going to revisit a conversation that Ira had with Dr. Jane Goodall on Science Friday |
| 0:40.0 | back in 2002, even though this chat happened more than 20 years ago, a lot of what they |

| 1:35.0 | Well, I haven't been involved in the actual research since 1986 |
| 1:40.3 | when I suddenly realized that the chimpanzees were vanishing in the wild and being horribly mistreated in captivity, |
| 1:46.0 | that was during a conference in Chicago when we brought all the chimp people from around Africa together, |
| 1:52.0 | the research at Gombi continues, there's a great team there, but my role, you know, other than occasionally visiting just really for my own good, is to be sure that the money is there to ensure that the research |
