STEMng Digest: Week 29

Welcome to the 29th 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 are 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 29.

Saturday: Biological Imperfectness Sums Up the Several Theories of Aging

Senescence, otherwise known as aging is an important biological phenomenon whom scientists have been trying to unravel its mechanisms over the years.

He went further to enunciate why biological imperfectness is the sole reason behind the process.

Sunday: Why The Answer to Cancer Might Just Be Within Our Bodies

Cancer has always been a pain in the ass of humans in general and would be a a victory for mankind the day a cure is found.

Monday: How mobile phone radiation may have adverse effect on memory performance in adolescents.

Advancement in science and technology has made mobile phones to be as important as oxygen to a lot of us. Even though scientists hve claimed the the technology make use of non-ionizing radiation which is generally not harmful to humans, this article by @starrichie claims otherwise. What are the claims made? have a read.
