It's been a roller coaster of an economic ride since Nigeria got a new president and commander-in-chief about 2 months ago. That things have moved from bad to worse is an understatement. Many who have postponed some key decisions about their lives to when the economy gets better will be looking on rather pensively.
I am not a pessimist. However, I am yet to witness the Nigerian economy get better with changes to government since I have been self aware. If you hold some key decisions in your life in anticipation of better economic condition across the country, you might have to wait for eternity.
Now is simply the best time. Welcome to 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:
Covid19 may have gone under but vaccines remain a popular subject. Vaccines train our bodies' memory cells to fight off disease. When exposed to a pathogen, these badass cells spring into action, producing antibodies that neutralize the threat. So next time you're feeling under the weather, remember that your memory cells are there to kick ass and take names. Learn more about these cells by clicking and reading the post, from a veteran author of the community.
2.@futurekr: Nigeria announces the discovery of Anthrax in Nigeria (should we be scared?)
Scientists in Nigeria have discovered a variant of anthrax, but it's not the Phantom of the Opera. This variant appears to be more transmissible than any known ones, but it's not clear if it's more severe. Scientists are on the case, and they're working to understand the variant and develop vaccines and treatments. Head over to learn more about this new discovery.
3.@jude9: My First Experienced With X-ray Machine
I was scared of the X-ray machine at first, but it turned out to be a bright idea. The machine helped doctors diagnose my injury, and I'm now on the mend. Thanks, X-ray machine! Sound's interesting? Read the post to know more about the first-time experience of our Ghanaian brother with an X-ray machine.

5.@ireti: Exploring Potential Alternatives to Combat Microbial Resistance
Could cockroaches and alligators be the key to fighting antibiotic-resistant microbes?
Antibiotics have been a lifesaver for centuries, but in recent years, microbes have become increasingly resistant to these drugs. Scientists are now looking to other organisms for inspiration, including cockroaches and alligators. Are you kidding? Not really. Just read the post to know more.

Thanks for the kind comment.
Thanks for the mentioning and featuring my post. It's my pleasure 😂
It is indeed an era of serious roller-coster, my sister has been postponing her wedding ceremony in anticipation of a better time, and now that she has finally decided to carry out the ceremony, things are even more expensive than usual and she has been saying, she wish she did it sooner.
Your sister should just do whatever her capacity can carry. The focus should be more about the marriage, not the wedding ceremony itself. I wish her a successful marriage.
These beautiful works and i must say congratulations to all featured post, y'all amazing
I went to the market to get pepper and I was shocked at the amount I saw things were sold. I told the woman, I would come back to buy when the economy is stable. This current situation has become so many people's nightmare.
When do you think the economy will be stable?
That is a question that I cannot give a definite answer to now, but it can be answered by our oga at the top
