STEMng: You are a survivor, not a failure

In the next few days, the year 2022 will fold up and a new year will spread out. There may have been things you thought you will achieve this year but which you failed woefully at. Worse still, you may have seen people who did not put half of the effort you invested being successful at where you failed.

You may have failed at many things, but if you are reading this, you have at least, one thing that you have been successful at. You made it this far. And not only that, another year beckons for you try again where you failed before. Many who you thought are more successful than you did not make it out of this year alive. See yourself as a survivor instead of a failure.

Here is me congratulating you for making it thus far, and wishing you the best that the few remaining days of 2022 have to offer.

Welcome to a new edition of our weekly publications.

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:

1. @nattybongo: The Various Aspects of Vision
   We start with this post from our Ghanaian brother. While everyone appreciate good vision, very few understands the factors that work together to bring about the visions that we see. There are several aspects to it, including visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, Vernier acuity, and so on. The understanding of these factors and how they work together to give the best of vision is what our brother decided to educate us on.

2.@oluwatobiloba: Pharmacokinetics || Explaining Drug Absorption in Details

Everyone reading me must have taken drugs at some points in the lives. How these drugs get absorbed by the body to perform their healing functions is what majority of us do not understand. In this her article, the author explained the various mechanisms through which drugs get absorbed by the body and the various factors that influence this absorption.

3.@merrymercy: The Neuroscience of Muscle Memory (How the Muscle Remember How you Play the Guitar)

This is a post that someone like @mobbs who teaches kids musical instrument may find interesting. When you learn to play an instrument using your muscles, have you ever wondered how your muscles remember to adjust accordingly whenever you try to play the instrument? It is called muscle memory and makes for an interesting reading.

4.@sam9999: Gingko- A new hopes for Diabetes?

Diabetic, have history of diabetes in your family, or knows someone close that is diabetic? Here is a post you may not want to miss. Gingko is a naturally growing plant that has been research to be the most powerful 100% organic option to manage diabetes. However, its usage comes with some caution because like everything else, it may have its own side effects.

5.@bimbo45: The Urinary Tubule - Explaining The Process of Urination

Our last but not the least featured post for this edition, and this year, is a post that will make for a lesson in high school biology. It discusses the human urinary tubule and how the process of urination works. If you are a biology student or inquisitive enough to learn about the human body, here is a perfect gift.
