This Collection Includes Hand-Picked Stories from the Health and Science and Curated Newsletters by Dr. Michael Broadly #3
Curator’s Note: Dr. Michael Broadly has curated a collection of engaging stories focused on health and science from various publications, alongside recent newsletters. In October, he primarily edited and published, highlighting significant works and continuing his sexual health series. He encourages support for contributing writers and shares updates on his editorial team’s new guidelines. This compilation covers diverse topics, including cognitive training, aging, and mental well-being, to build a connection with readers. Dr Broadly, a retired healthcare scientist, expresses gratitude for community engagement in storytelling and knowledge sharing.
Spotlighting some of the stories I enjoyed reviewing, publishing, or reading in these two special publications, hoping they might resonate with you too
G’day folks,
October is almost ending. I trust this post finds you in good health and spirits. I managed to write a few stories this month but mainly focused on editing, publishing, and sharing stories from my publication and others. I want to share my latest: A Robot With Real Muscles? You’ve Got to Be Kidding!
I am updating guidelines for Health and Science, and I plan to continue my sexual health series this month. The latest episode in my sexual health series is titled Why Do We Fantasize About People We Would Never Sleep With?
Today, I decided to share some great stories I published or enjoyed reading in my publication, Health and Science, and Curated Newsletters, where I work as a volunteer editor. I believe you will find some relevant and engaging stories from this mini collection.
They are not in a particular order. I just copied and pasted from my reading/publishing journal. Please support these writers and their stories by engaging with, re-posting, and sharing them on social media.
Before reviewing the stories, if you are a writer, you may want to check out recent updates from the ILLUMINATION editorial team that may be relevant to you. I linked the bulletin below:
