Fancy Scientist
As Featured In
I’m Dr. Stephanie Schuttler, an unconventional wildlife biologist, hence the name Fancy Scientist. From my 17 years in the field, I learned that science alone cannot save wildlife. We simply need more people to care. I started the Fancy Scientist blog to share my love of animals, conservation, and science to inspire and connect people to nature. I also help aspiring wildlife biologists navigate this crazy career after I’ve realized how little information is out there.

Alexia on the
Fancy Scientist Podcast
"Heard a fantastic presentation by Dr. Schuttler about mammals in our state's backyards just before seeing the premiere of Backyard Wilderness...The kids love their video docu movies and both were inspired by Dr. S."
Guarav on "Getting a Job in Wildlife Biology"
"This book is full of great info about the field of wildlife biology, but also just life itself. All the practicality of a textbook guide, but it reads like sitting down with a friend and hearing their story. I wish I had this book to reference when I was just starting out in college, but still so useful now!"
