Biologist is Real-Life Mother Goose

Jessica Meir, a biologist at the University of British Columbia, is involved in research with bar-headed goslings, which are imprinted on her. The imprinting process helps in familiarizing the goslings with human interaction. The research focuses on understanding how these geese achieve high-altitude flights, even above Mount Everest, by examining their physiological adaptations such as large lungs and efficient red blood cells.

How did Jessica Meir bond with the goslings during their early development?
