In the next few days, Nigeria as country will be experiencing a change of government. Even though the incoming president is from the same party as the outgoing one, expectations are still high and the populace expect a significant change that will bring massive relief to alleviate the suffering of the common man in our country.
We at STEMng hope that this will actually be the case. We are using this medium to congratulate everyone of us.
Welcome to a new dispensation and a new edition of STEMng Digest.
Who are we?
STEMng is the Nigerian sub-community of the stemsocial community, a community that has been supporting stem authors on the hive blockchain for about four years now. While stemsocial focuses on everyone irrespective of their country, STEMng is specifically for Nigerians. The best stem contents published by Nigerians on the Hive blockchain are highlighted weekly.
Below are the posts that made it into our digest for this week:
@busted1Soda lover? Then this is for you. Do you know that soda is a dangerous drink that can harm your health in many ways? It's high in sugar and calories, which can lead to weight gain and obesity.
Soda also contains artificial sweeteners, which have been linked to a number of health problems, including cancer. If you're looking for a refreshing drink that's good for your health, reach for water instead of soda. Still not convinced? Read the post.

Central pontine myelinolysis is a rare and serious neurological disorder that occurs when the myelin sheaths that protect nerve cells in the pons are damaged. CPM is most commonly caused by the rapid correction of hyponatremia (low sodium levels in the blood). Symptoms of CPM can include paralysis, difficulty swallowing, and difficulty speaking. There is no specific treatment for CPM, and the prognosis varies depending on the severity of the damage. Wanna know more? Read the post.

When our social identity and personal identity clash, we may experience an identity crisis. This can be a time of great confusion and uncertainty. However, it can also be a time of great growth and self-discovery. By exploring our values, beliefs, and goals, we can emerge from an identity crisis with a stronger sense of self.
