Hello everyone and welcome to talk and Nurdy. Today is Monday, June 27th, 2022 and I'm the

host of the show Kara Santa Maria. And as always, before we dive into this week's episode,

I do want to thank those of you who make TalkNurdy possible.

Remember, TalkNurdy is and will always be 100% free to download,

and that's because I rely on the support of listeners just like you.

So if you want to pledge your support to the show, like my other incredible patrons,

all you've got to do is visit Patreon p at reo n

dot com slash talk nerdy this week's top patrons include Daniel Lang

David J. E. Smith, Mary Niva, Brian Holden, David Compton,

Dudas Infinitas, Gabriel F. Hermillo Gonzalez, Joe Wilkinson, June Separa, Leonard Prince, Pasqualee-Jilati, and Ulrika Hagman.

Thank you all so, so very much.

And oh, I did want to tell you, and this will make more sense after the episode, but I was so inspired by this week's episode that I made a donation to the cause, give directly, right after recording my interview with this week's

guest. I made a thousand dollar donation which I know is a lot but also in the grand

scheme of things not a lot, but my guest today, Dr. Liqueur, Miriam,

she's going to explain exactly what a thousand dollars can pay for with this incredible organization.

So if you want to give, I highly,

highly recommend that you forego, you know,

contributing to talk nerdy this week

in an effort to give to give directly because it's just such a worthy cause.

So let's talk all about it.

I want to get you guys up to speed.

So this week, I had the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Miriam Liqueer and not really in person because I'm in Los Angeles and she's in Uganda, but we were able to connect remotely.
