Alexis Dahl @alexisdahl.com · 01/07/2026Hey, thanks! The truth is, I am not much further along! When it comes to specific IDs, I really rely on help from professionals. There are a few local rocks I can now pick out on my own, but if you ever see me confidently ID'ing a rock, it's because someone with more experience told me what it was. 010

Alexis Dahl @alexisdahl.com · 31/03/2026“Indeed it has been said that from the proceedings of her early Legislatures, it might well be imagined that Michigan sought the privileges of a state solely for the purpose of building canals, railroads and turnpikes and improving rivers and harbors.” We've always been into roads, apparently. 141

Alexis Dahl @alexisdahl.com · 13/05/2025Deep in this Michigan copper mine, is a place only about 30 people have stepped in the last 100 years. A place still marked by the footprints of the miners who walked out more than a century ago. Recently, I got to go down there.

Alexis Dahl @alexisdahl.com · 25/04/2025One of my favorite things about this video was that at least a couple of the researchers have known each other since they were 18.
