We are delighted to present the third edition of RMSTEM, a magazine created entirely by our talented students.
Following the success of our previous issues, this edition features an exciting collection of articles that explore the rapidly evolving world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. From cutting-edge medical breakthroughs to the mysteries of the universe, this edition is a vibrant showcase of our students’ curiosity and passion for STEM.
This issue covers a diverse range of current and fascinating topics, including:
- Regenerative Medicine: Ground-breaking news on how human neural stem cells successfully reversed stroke damage in mice at the University of Zurich , and the first successful treatments of Huntington’s disease using experimental gene therapy by UK researchers.
- Space and Discovery: Deepening the mystery of life on Mars with new chemical clues and organic carbon compounds detected by the Perseverance and Curiosity rovers. Also, the goal of the joint Indian and Japanese LUPEX mission to analyse water and ice at the Moon’s South Pole is detailed.
- Health and Environment: An investigation into the impact of air pollution on health, including links between pollutants and premature aging, respiratory infections, and acne.
- Diseases and Diagnosis: An article on “mimic diseases” that discusses the clinical overlaps and key differentiating features between strokes and hemiplegic migraines.
- Meet the Scientist: This edition’s featured scientist is Jennifer Doudna, the Nobel Prize-winning biochemist who co-developed the revolutionary method for genome editing, a technology that can alter DNA sequences in organisms to influence traits like disease risk.
- Global Science News: A comprehensive roundup of recent scientific news from around the world, covering topics like a new Ebola vaccine trial in Uganda, a new dinosaur species discovered in Argentina, and the launch of the African Bioinformatics Institute in South Africa.
Whether you’re a fellow student, a teacher, a parent, or a curious reader, we invite you to explore the magazine below and be inspired by the next generation of scientists, engineers, and thinkers.
