Scientists: Louis Pasteur Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

MainePublisher: All geocache placements must have a responsive owner. The cache owner must be able to respond to issues that come up and to submit an "owner maintenance" log to remove the "needs maintenance" icon.

In addition to the "needs maintenance" logs and DNF logs, Goundspeak also uses a Health Score algorithm. https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713

In this case, Groundspeak has sent an email to the cache owner with no response. The cache owner did not respond to any of the cachers hoping to find the cache and did not respond to the reviewer note so the cache is now archived.

The cache location is now open for any Geocacher to place a new cache, including the original cache owner.

Geocache Description:


This cache was hidden as part of the spawner cache "Scientists". This area is very quiet, low traffic, and it will be obvious to the seasoned cacher of where to look.

Louis Pasteur was born on December 27th, 1822 and passed away on September 28th, 1895. His life was spent working as a French chemist and microbiologist and he is considered to be one of the founders of microbiology.

Many processes used today are associated with Pasteur and his works.

Pasteur developed the Rabies vaccine, and helped push further into immunization and how effective a vaccine was against preventing disease.

Pasteurization is a technique used to prevent spoiling of beverages. This process involves heating the beverage such as milk, to an extreme temperature to kill any microogranisms that may be present. This encouraged the surgeon John Lister to look further into antiseptic techniques during surgery. LIster is now famous for the mouthwash "Listerine".

And the FTF winner goes to ... McGillz!!
