Author, Scientist, Speaker

I. Caroline Crocker, Ph.D.

I am an immigrant born to an immigrant and on for generations. My parents are Dutch, but I have lived in Canada, Iowa, England, California, Texas and Virginia.

My career has been equally varied. I trained as a scientist: microbiology and immunology. Then I worked in medical research, college teaching, leading a nonprofit, and being a CEO.

Now I am doing what I love most. Enjoying my eight grandchildren, gardening, and writing books. Adult books, big kid books, little kid books, and even a book on doing microbiology in your kitchen. Rambling Ruminations Books are all about truth that reads like fiction.

Media Exposure (incomplete; selected list)

Please note that some of my views have changed in the last ten years, but this list shows that I am very capable of making a splash!
