Hello all! Thank you for the support on the introduction post, it is great to see so much appreciation for science here on steemit. With that said, let's get into some of what you can expect from the trail this week.

Full Steem ahead down the Science-Trail!

Starting this week, we will be releasing a weekly science newsletter which will highlight articles from content creators of high and low reputation across the science tag. Going forward, we hope to introduce interesting challenges and contests to encourage new science content. Next week will be the introduction of our themed article contest, where we will pick a topic and leave it to you guys to create interesting posts that educate us. Submissions will be reviewed over the course of the following week and the author's post doing best at the end of the contest will be deemed the recognized Nerd on that topic!

Most details on what this will mean for content creators will be explained in contests posts in the future. So leave a suggestion about what you think the first themed article contest topic should be below!

And so we get to the content creators of the week. As the trail started a little bit behind this week, the Newsletter will be kept short with just 5 content creators to bring to you this week. Although this is the week of Monday June 12th, obviously only content posted from the week before, up to today, will be featured. We also want to make sure you guys read the articles and support, so we won't be spoiling too much!
