    S3E7: Women in STEM

    And here's a little bonus that did not get heard on the podcast, but was worth sharing:

    "Well-behaved women seldom make history...." is an oft-quoted phrase that has been attributed to many different women, but this article here tells you where the quote came from. It's a good read, and while it's about women in early American History rather than science, it's yet another illustration of the same problem.

          • The story must be at least one page long.
          • Upload your story (or write it in) Google Docs
          • Set the "Sharing" for "Anyone with the link".
          • Copy the link and share it to our MMC Chat Facebook Group by November 30, 2022.

          S2E40: Camp Cooking without a Campfire

          *Note: Do not use scented candles for your Buddy Burners unless you want your food to taste like the candles; we used blocks of paraffin wax you can buy at the grocery store. When we made our Vagabond Stoves we used a large coffee can that we cut with tin snips.  Also, we did not put holes in the top of the can...just the sides, that way you can use the surface of the can as a griddle for eggs, pancakes, and even bacon!
