The Project

I heard Fresh Air the other day.  Terry G. interviewed the director of Project Nim.  Project Nim is a documentary about Nim Chimpsky, a chimpanzee who lived as an experiment.  Humans tried to raise Nim as a human child, and they taught him American sign language.  The experiment went awry and Nim didn't play along as planned.  He even bit a hole in someone's cheek.  I want to see this film and I also want to learn more about animal language studies.  Nim died at age 28, from a heart attack.  He had some good times and some bad times.
On another note, tomorrow our school starts 5 days of workshops about learning artfully.  I'm ready for the learning, peeps.  I'm ready for the learning.
