We just lost one of the greatest conservationists and science communicators of our field. Jane Goodall was an inspiration to us and many others to pursue a career in wildlife science and conservation. Her legacy will live on in our memories and actions: abcnews.go.com/amp/Internat...

Gene sequencing alone cannot inform us about coat color; the effects of some mutations are dependent on mutations in other genes; this effect is called epistasis #TheMoreYouKnow 💫 🧪
