The KEY to SUCCESS is to believe in yourself.  "You'll never win", "Are you seriously wasting your weekend for a simulation model?", "There are many better and more confident delegates" ...     If you ever feel discouraged from doing something, remember that the biggest failure you might experience is the failure to follow through on your dreams and aspirations. As a new blog writer in EstheraSTEM, I want to start my wonderful journey writing about something I am truly passionate about. Well, MUN is just that, having won 3 conferences back to back. Safe to say I have mastered it to the TEA!! But again, no one is perfect, and everything in life is a journey filled with ups and downs.     So, in this article, I'll be discussing what an MUN conference is, or any other simulation model, how to prepare, what tips I give to my delegates as the youngest advisor in my high school, and more. Not forgetting to explain every technical terminology or phrase I...

Today is  November 8, 2025, and I'm going to take your through a Radiographical POV (yh, mine as an anatomy student!) P.S: This year 2025 global theme is  "Empowering Healthcare through Imaging Excellence! To start with, ​In our anatomy studies, we spend hours learning, visualizing, drawing diagrams and memorizing the location, functions and relationships of each and every structure of the human body .  But how do we move from theoretical understanding to certainty in the clinical world? ​It’s simple: In healthcare, guessing is risky and assumptions are dangerous, so we rely on visual confirmation. ​And that's where Radiography steps in. 🔍 What is Radiography? Radiography is defined as a diagnostic imaging technique that utilizes X-rays to visualize structures within the body, aiding in the identification of conditions. (Source: ScienceDirect) Yes, we learn about fractures, dislocations, pneumonia, abdominal obstructions and so much more in class… but radiographs show u...

You know those uncertain choices you make every day? Like deciding whether to carry an umbrella because the weather is dull or you're wondering if your exam guesses were correct? What if I tell you there's a science behind these choices? And it is called Probability , which is our way of assigning numbers to uncertainty. --- P.S: We're skipping the equations and heavy math in this article to learn more about the decision-making concept of probability. --- What is Probability? At its core, Probability is more than just coin flips and dice rolls, it is a window into how we understand chance, risk and even fairness. Put simply, Probability is a branch of mathematics and statistics concerning events and numerical descriptions of how likely they are to occur. It's also the measure of the likelihood that an event will happen. Think of it as a scale from 0 to 1:  • 0 means an event is impossible, and   • 1 means an event is certain. Beyond a simple coin toss, probability is th...

Bias with Nature: Revival of 10000 years old wolf's using Genetic Engineering Now, the question in my mind is: Will movies like Jurassic Park soon become reality? Should governments form policy regulations regarding the advancement of genetic engineering and the revival of extinct species? How would the revival of species that went extinct thousands of years ago affect today’s ecosystems and their balance? Should we even consider reviving those species? And would it be ethically correct to revive the already extinct species which might have failed that nature's fitness test?    As Darwin's Evolution Theory states the survival of the fittest , so can we say that majority of the already extinct species have failed the nature's test and revival of those species would be the against the Laws of Nature? But surely we can revive the species for which human are responsible for, so we can restore the balance of nature. (One would argue) For instance, Dire wolves which has been...

The human brain plays a crucial role not only in our mental health but also in our physical health and overall well-being. By uncovering these 10 interesting facts, we gain a deeper understanding of the brain’s complexity, adaptability and its extraordinary capacity for learning and memory. 1. The Brain acts as the control center for the body's nervous system — coordinating thoughts, movements, emotions and vital functions. (Obviously, it is 😅) 2. The Human Brain consists of approximately 86 billion neurons interconnected by synapses that process and transmit information, emotions and responses. 3. Despite weighing just about 3 pounds (1.4 kg) and making up only 2% of total body weight, the brain is the most energy-demanding organ. 4. About 75% of the brain is made up of water, which is why staying hydrated is essential for optimal brain function and performance. 5. The brain receives around 20% of the body’s oxygen and blood supply— roughly 750 to 1,000 milliliters of blood every...

From their mesmerizing colours to their delicate shape... Soap bubbles hold more science than meets the eye. Why do soap bubble show different colours? W hat is the role of surface tension in keeping the bubbles spherical? What is the role of gravity in colours shown by the bubbles? Explore the answers in this blog post. --- Soap bubbles are far more than mere playthings: they are hollow spheres of soapy water enclosing air. Each bubble is composed of three delicate layers: an inner soap layer, a middle water layer and an outer soap layer. The formation of these layers is a result of the unique properties of soap molecules, which possess both hydrophobic (water-repelling) and hydrophilic (water-attracting) ends. The thickness of a soap bubble is not uniform; gravity plays a pivotal role in creating a gradient of thickness. The bubble is thickest at the bottom and thinnest at the top.  This phenomenon occurs as gravity pulls the water molecules downward, yet surface tension act...
