STEMng Digest: Week 38

This digest is the 38th 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 #38.

Well, if you think the topic by @menoski is exhaustive enough given how long it was, we will like to ask that you have a rethink as there is more from where it originated. Sleep is something we do every day unless you are a bot like @greenrun :D It is vital to the humans. However, how much do we know about it? Check this post to find out more.

Wednesday : THE GAIT SYSTEM | The Physiology of Human Locomotion

It is easy for us to identify a human from a robot simply by looking at the way they walk. The human gait is something that we have seen so many times that we probably take for granted how it works. However, @okunlolayk is here to break down the mechanism and physiology behind the scene which guides our movement.
