Welcome to the 14th episode of the stemng digest series where we bring to you some of the best posts under the #stemng tag in the past week.
For those that do not know yet, stemng is a sub-community of steemSTEM, a community-driven project which seeks to promote well-written and informative Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics posts by Nigerians on Steemit. The project involves submitting quality STEM-related posts to the steemSTEM management for upvoting and resteeming where applicable.
More information about stemng activities can be found here, while details of what it means to be part of steemSTEM can be found here, as well.
As we usually do, we have sifted through the stemng tag and even though there were several good posts to choose from, below are the posts that stood out for week #14.
Today's digest comes a little bit earlier than usual.
Saturday: The Dawn of the Antibiotic Era: The Penicillin Story and The Fleming Myth
Most everyday things we use today all have a fascinating history. But some of the time the history is not accurate. On Saturday, @tormiwah took up the task of giving us the accurate story behind the groundbreaking discovery of penicillin. The story is worth reading as it was entertaining as well educative. Do check the link on the description above for all the juicy details.
Sunday: An Overview: The Cardiovascular System and the Hemodynamics of Circulation 1
The second post on the list is that of @vanessahampton. The writer has a fascination for blood even though she is not a vampire. Which you will agree is a good thing. The article took us on the journey into the heart (pun not intended) of the biophysics of blood circulation with heart, the natural body pump, doing an excellent job of getting the blood where it is needed.
Monday: Why do some stars fall at night in the sky?
Tuesday: Are Chemicals Used In Food Packaging Harmful To Human Health?
Wednesday: Exploring the Dark Side of Humanity: the Stanford Prison Experiment
In this post, @churchboy takes a personal look at how external conditions could influence the decisions of individuals and how group identity is a potent factor in the relationship between inmates and correctional officers. He did this by reviewing the famous, yet controversial Stanford Prison Experiment by Dr Phil Zimbardo where ordinary individuals were made to turn against each other when they were grouped as guards and inmates in an experiment. The post leaves you wondering if humans are inherently evil or whether the participants in that experiment would have turned to heroes of each other if the conditions were reversed.
Thursday : Machining; how machine parts are birthed
The post by @rharphelle looks on the various machining procedure that is employed to produce other machine parts. You do not have to be a mechanical engineer to understand the simple explanation of the various processes that manufacturers use in their machine part production.
