Her gray hair pulled back loosely, Jane Goodall walked quietly up to the microphone and addressed an auditorium full of 700 students with a belching roar.
"O-o-o-oooo-ooooo-ooouiiiii-ooouuiiiiiiii!"
She filled the place with giggles.
Goodall, perhaps the most famous woman scientist in the world, renowned for living with chimpanzees as part of her research in Africa, yesterday met with students at the Country Day School in Escazú, west of San José. The school is involved in conservation efforts through the Jane Goodall Institute.
Goodall also met with President Oscar Arias yesterday before heading on a tour of the country scheduled to end in the northwest province of Guanacaste next week.
“Costa Rica has been leading the way in environmental protection for quite some time,” she told The Tico Times in an interview.
