Steve Ross, director of Lincoln Park Zoo's center for apes and a well-respected primatologist, died unexpectedly Wednesday at 52.
Ross was hired by the zoo in 2000 and became director of the Lester E. Fisher Center for the Study and Conservation of Apes in 2021. His research at the zoo helped lead to the development of its award-winning Regenstein Center for African Apes.
"He's very interested in how animals are similar to humans, and I'm very interested in how animals are so different from us," Megan Ross said of her husband in a Sun-Times story when she was announced as the zoo's new president. "Steve's devotion to his work and his compassion for animals were immeasurable and invaluable," the zoo said in its statement."He leaves behind a loving family, countless friends and colleagues across the world, the animals he came to love and admire, and a large body of research that has done so much to protect some of the world's most intelligent and fascinating creatures.

Liars: Putin-Trump axis blasted as Obama likens Steve Bannon to Russian dictatorFormer President Barack Obama confronted social media companies for spreading misinformation in a formal address at Stanford, warning of the real-world consequences of disinformation and fringe conspiracy theories. Obama argued the tech industry can play a more constructive role and singled out dangerous, dishonest actors, like Vladimir Putin and former Trump aide Steve Bannon, in unusually direct remarks. MSNBC’s Ari Melber reports on the address and examples of disinformation being amplified online, noting that while conspiracies always existed, for-profit companies are spreading them far more than before.
