Sad news: Jane Goodall has died. She did more than any other human for our understanding and appreciation of our closest relatives, the chimpanzees.

That chimpanzees are Endangered tells you everything about our species and about what made her so exceptional.

L’Inserm est solidaire du mouvement Stand Up For Science

presse.inserm.fr/cest-dans-la...

#StandUpForScience2025

L’Inserm est très concerné par le sort de la science et des scientifiques aux Etats-Unis, ayant des relations étroites historiques avec de nombreuses institutions scientifiques américaines et en particulier le NIH et des programmes scientifiques communs.

Plus largement l’Inserm est solidaire du mouvement Stand Up For Science et est solidaire de tous les scientifiques exerçant aux États-Unis, où la liberté académique est aujourd’hui mise à l’épreuve.

L’Institut souhaite rappeler l’importance de la science et du progrès dans le monde actuel, où nous sommes confrontés à de nombreux enjeux de société et de nombreuses crises.
