I'll add 'string theorist', 'paleobotanist', 'exoplanetologist', 'dendrochronologist', and 'parapsychologist'. When politicians (or most people, for that matter) talk about needing more people in STEM, they don't usually mean to increase funding for these fields. Rather, "STEM" is short-hand for "the sorts of people who solve problems that are useful for industry, business, and health."
