Twitter: @ADouglasPhotos I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph Ms Goodall. To make best use of her time, I shot photos while my colleague interviewed her. As we were saying goodbye, she asked me - the lowly photographer - if I had a question, so I asked, "There were not many prominent women scientists when you first started out - did being a woman help you or hinder your career?" For the first time in the 30 minute interview, she paused for a long moment then said, "It helped".
