Listen "Bob Ingersoll: Chimpanzees, Advocacy, and the Life Behind Project Nim (Part 1)"
Episode Synopsis
In this first part of my conversation with Bob Ingersoll- longtime advocate, author, and central voice in the documentary, Project NIM- we talk about the role of home, friendship, and persistence in a life dedicated to chimpanzees and animal welfare. Bob reflects on his early days as a graduate student, the lasting impact of his graduate studies at the University of Oklahoma's Institute for Primate Studies in Norman, and the lasting impact of Project NIM on the broader conversation around research, captivity, and the way we view great apes. This is Part 1 of a two-part interview. Stay tuned for Part 2, where Bob dives deeper into his career milestones, advocacy work, and what keeps him moving forward.
