STEMng Digest: Week 37

Welcome to another episode of stemng weekly digest. The first digest after the HF20. This is going to be the 37th episode of the series. A weekly post where we bring to you some of the best articles written by stemng authors in the past week.

As a background information, 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 since after the HF20 which constitute our week #37.

1: clearing-off in Maternal Measles Immunoglobulin G

Just like the last, this post from @teemike kicks off our stemng post HF20 series. The author discussed in details his recent research on Maternal Measles Antibody (MMA) in Nigeria. This is worth a read for every stem enthusiast.
