So many people are quick to announce their small wins to the world. The praises, felicitations, and silent jealousies often act as stumbling blocks for bigger wins. Isn't it better to just work in silence and allow your success to announce itself? For those of us whose livelihoods partially depend on writing to earn in the cryptosphere, I know that times are a bit hard. However, working silently now is better. Our successes will be loud when the bull returns.
Welcome to a new edition of 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:

The days of having to sequence the entire genome of an organism before they can be genetically modified are gradually coming to an end with the recently developed CRISPR/CAS9 gene editing technology.
