Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

I was taking computer programming classes in college and there was a woman there who blew everyone away when it came to writing great code.  After completing a course in C++, I didn't see her again for some time.  Then I bumped into her in the business department.  I asked her why she had left computer science and she said, "We all know computers aren't for women." I was floored and gave her the name of three women who were working in computer science.  She now has a job as a computer programmer.  People who say women aren't smart enough to do science or math or anything else, just don't have a clue.

Now for the puzzle.  Here is a woman working to develop a cancer therapy based on gold nanoparticles.  She has won numerous awards in nanotechnology, materials science and engineering, optics, biophotonics (2014), and physics for her work.  If she ever heard there were limitations to what women could do, she proved them wrong.

What is her name?  Enter the two words into the geochecker without a space.
