About

Rockdocpress is the place to come for the scientific musings and semi-creative writing
of Hannah Carle, PhD Researcher in the Forest Ecosystems Group, The Australian National University. Rockdocpress is a space where nerds rule, rocks are the bomb, and plants are the answer to what ails us. Enjoy kids (I’m looking at you, inner child).

I post the first week of each month, on themes spanning environmental science, research methods and science communication. My aim is to give you an experience of the beauty in science and nature, wrapped up with some information you may also find useful to know.

Disclaimer: I am not a rock doctor in the technical sense (I am not a PhD recipient in geology). I am a somewhat misunderstood-by-my-family-and-friends plant scientist (with a geology background) and science communicator, affectionately nicknamed the ‘rock doctor’ by the aforementioned.

Please take everything herein with a grain of salt. What type is your pick.
