AI Summary

medium article 3 min

The Starmus festival, co-founded by Brian May, will launch the Jane Goodall Earth medal to recognize individuals championing life on Earth through sustainable programs. The award, supported by Goodall before her death, aims to encourage action towards improving the world for people, animals, and the environment. The first recipients will be announced at the Starmus VIII festival in Tenerife and La Palma from October 17-22 next year. The medal will likely have multiple categories, similar to the Stephen Hawking medal for science communication. The announcement was made at the Royal Society, with Goodall's grandson welcoming the award as encouragement for continued work. The next Starmus festival will focus on "the search for truth" in response to the proliferation of misinformation.
