Random Nature
I'm Christy Hyman and I am a geographer who loves birds and the outdoors. I talk to academics about how they view nature and how much or how little they embrace it into their lives.

This episode introduces us to my friend and collaborator Jim Anderson, PhD. Anderson recounts his experiences growing up on a dairy farm in rural Wisconsin, emphasizing activities like cow-milking, fishing, hunting, and trapping muskrats. He reflects on the harsh realities of life and death in nature(content warning), shaped by childhood adventures and a strong connection to wildlife, ultimately leading to a career as a wildlife biologist.
