This cache is part of an occasional series about Women in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). This is the first time a Women in STEM cache has no puzzle, one could even call it a tabula rasa. How else could it be posted as a traditional cache? There’s not even a field puzzle. I recommend parking at the posted coordinates for a pleasant walk, you may even be able to find another cache or two on the way to this one.
When I was a high school and college student (no, not in the dark ages, though it was in a prior century), nearly all of my math and science teachers and professors were male. Fortunately for me, it generally wasn’t unusual for a female student to be taking those courses, except my high school physics class where, true story, there were more students named David than female students. Although we learned about many male scientists (all of those chemistry and physics constants seemed to be named after a male), it was rare to hear about a female scientist (back then the abbreviation STEM wasn’t used, a stem either referred to the part of a plant attached to the flower or the first word in a stem and leaf diagram).
The cache is located at a nice place to sit and ponder the universe. The times I’ve visited this spot I’ve seen lots of pretty foliage and heard many bird sounds.The cache is in the obvious spot, and is either a large micro or a small small, though since the volume is about the size of an apple it's listed as a small.
It would be fun (though of course not required) if your log included the names of any women in STEM you learned about in school, or wish you would have learned more about in school.
