How to Assess Peer Review Quality
Useful article on 'How to Assess Peer Review Quality'. This was posted to the Fediverse, EASE @EASE@mstdn.science. Important topic, you can read the article here on Google docs.

The Basic Structure of the Atom
The Basic Structure of the Atom | Chemistry and Our Universe: How it All Works
This is another video I found that goes into more detail as to the structure of the atom.

Huge star explosion to appear in sky
Huge star explosion to appear in sky in once-in-a-lifetime event
This looks interesting and a good opportunity to witness a rare event, but also an opportunity for science and instruments to also observe. For example, the HST can observe in visible light, whereas the JWST could observe in Infra red.
The article can be found here and is published on phys.org. If you want to observe this, you need to know when or where to look, perhaps install the Stellarium software to help find or consult a good star chart for 2024.
The star is within the Corona Borealis constellation. Which is, also known as the northern crown.
I have not started a thread on science forums, but if someone does start one, I can link below. In the meantime, I will leave in a general link. I have also included a link to the [contact page]() so we can discuss further on Matrix or perhaps the Fediverse.

Bird flu adaptability
This is interesting, but also worrying at the same time Now that bird flu is spreading among cows, scientists worry where H5N1 will jump next
One of the nice things about the Fediverse is that you can have really intellectual discussions about things like this, comment, and engage in constructive conversations. This is part of the thread that pointed to the above article
While cattle aren't known for being an ideal host for many flu viruses, pigs are potent viral mixing vessels. That's because swine have both human-adapted receptors and avian-adapted receptors in their respiratory tracts, Moncla said, meaning they can be infected with either type of pathogen"
The potential for H1N1 to adapt and infect humans is there, Keeping animals in proximity to each other, won't help matters China’s 26-storey pig skyscraper ready to slaughter 1 million pigs a year
This could be a ticking time bomb towards the next pandemic. A related article here
So why put this on the stem group blog, It is active science, interesting and highlights how important it is, for people to study STEM subjects so we have scientists who can help combat this in the future.

What do atoms look like?
This video was on the sidebar when I was looking at the video in the previous post. As we are about STEM and I don't want to give the impression the group is about the really hard core science stuff or computer stuff, this video is more down to earth and should help with GCSE or A'Level science.
I am actually more interested in Science than computers anyway.
Discuss further
We can perhaps discuss more on Matrix or at a future STEM group event.
Another good place to discuss topics such as this is Science Forums.
Once we start getting a larger community both in person and virtually, then discussions can become more in-depth as there will hopefully be a greater pool of expertise.

Dark stars
'Dark stars': Dark matter may form exploding stars, and observing the damage could help reveal what it's made of
More research into Dark Stars. In this instance, the research is looking at whether exploding stars are linked to the formation of Dark matter.

This Is How the Body’s Building Blocks Are Made
Interesting article from SciTechDaily on how some of the human bodies basic building blocks are made. These are the proteins that make up other more complex components of the human body, This is linked to research into how ribosomes work

Sea Surface Temperature
Interesting research article. I found a link to this on the Fediverse.
May make an interesting discussion at a future STEM event.
