Innovate to Lead: Anne Dagg’s Odyssey in the Wilderness of KnowledgeIn 1956, Canadian biologist Anne Innis Dagg, at the age of 23, embarked on an extraordinary solo journey to South Africa. Her mission? To become the first Western scientist to study giraffes in the wild. Armed with unparalleled knowledge in the field of giraffe study, Anne returned to Canada. However, her path was not without obstacles. Sexism in academia hindered her from achieving tenure and advancing her career. For three decades, Anne remained absent from the giraffe world. But in 2010, a group of female graphologists sought her out, bringing her back into the research community. Finally, Anne’s extraordinary work was celebrated. At the upcoming conference, Anne and her daughter Mary will inspire us to BePrepared. They’ll challenge our expectations, question our data, revisit our theories, and lead in our own unique ways.
