A legend! But two complaints...
by JMW on 9/25/19The Anthem - WashingtonJane Goodall is a legend, so of course we had to see her! She lived up to her reputation as a modest, engaging and inspiring speaker. Her lecture lasted a little over an hour. The only 2 complaints were that 1) the venue didn't project live video of her speaking on the screen above her (would have been nice to see her facial expressions) and 2) there was a huge camera on a boom stationed on the stage that was constantly moving around like a giant dinosaur. Perhaps they were filming for a documentary or for her future exhibit at the National Geographic Museum, but it was really distracting, especially as it got really up close to her face like some sort of curious creature. The Anthem is always an excellent venue though and we will return.
