Stoked to announce our next on our podcast All Things Nerdy with Nathan Walker and Joseph Jewell. 

Hold onto your D20's, folks! Meet Carissa Thiel, the ultimate nerd biologist! With a vast array of experience in education, animal care, and coastal restoration, Carissa has had the privilege of handling birds of prey up close and personal. If that's not impressive enough, she's currently pursuing her graduate degree at Nicholls State University, where she's studying the ecology of plant species and bird communities on coastal ridges.

But wait, there's more! In her free time, Carissa unleashes her inner nerd by diving into the magical world of Dungeons and Dragons. Her character of choice? The druid, of course - a true master of nature and magic. When she's not busy questing, she's honing her skills as a dungeon master, bringing her friends along for epic battles against orcs, dragons, and other beasts.

Join us on an adventure of a lifetime as we sit down with Carissa to discuss her love of biology, her passion for the great outdoors, and her dedication to all things nerdy. Whether you're a fellow D&D enthusiast or a nature lover, you won't want to miss this epic conversation with Carissa, the ultimate dungeon master and biologist extraordinaire!
