SteemSTEM Distilled #40

in steemstem •  7 years ago  (edited)

Welcome to the 40th issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a curation effort by the members of the @steemstem team.

SteemSTEM is a community driven project which seeks to promote well-written and informative Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics posts on Steemit. The project involves curating STEM-related posts through upvoting, resteeming, offering constructive feedback, supporting scientific contests, and other related activities.

For more details, a recent update on the steemSTEM can be found here, and a not so recent one there. Moreover, if you ask yourself about what it means to be part of steemSTEM, please check here.


Our team scours the platform for original and quality content.

After working through thousands (literally!) of STEM-related posts and upvoting more than 150 that we deemed to be worthy, we proudly present you our top 8 handpicked choices for this Thursday-Sunday period.


Thursday


Loxosceles reclusa - The Brown Recluse Spider


Our famous homesteader, @sustainablyyours, has given us a post on many people's worst fear... spiders! Here you can learn more about the brown recluse spider and see some cool original photos!




Schizophrenia; The Hallmark Of Psychiatric Illnesses


A new entry in the #steemstem tag, @conficker, gives us a post on schizophrenia. Mental illness has been a taboo for years, it's time we rose awareness and educated ourselves that mental health is as important as physical health.


Friday


Vascular, Frontotemporal & Alzheimer’s Dementia – A Brief Discussion.

The most sober addict is back! @abigail-dantes has given us another one of her excellent posts and this time she talks about dementia. Read on to learn more about vascular, frontotemporal and Alzheimer's dementia (no, not every type of dementia is Alzheimer's).

History lovers, this is for you. In her beautiful post @highonthehog discusses the transition from classicism to hellenism, studying the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus.



Saturday


Amazing Cosmic Objects: Pulsars, Neutron Stars, & Magnetars



Let's go on a trip to the stars and learn more about the "Amazing Cosmic Objects" of @star-vc. In this excellent post you will read about pulsars, neutron stars and magnetars.




INTRODUCTION TO CARTOGRAPHY - AZIMUTHAL PROJECTIONS


Have you been following the episodes of @lordneroo's series "Introduction to Cartography"? In this post you will learn more about the four main categories of Azimuthial projections and their uses as a cartographer's tool.



Sunday


Sex Differences: Do females and males have different brains? Pt 2




How can hormones and differences in brain "architecture" between men and women affect their overall behavior? Read another interesting and well-written post by @alexander.alexis. One thing is for sure, you will love his writing style.




Making Spatial Data Yield Agates




If you like geology, you surely don't want to miss this post. Read what @gra has written for us and learn how to combine and evaluate spatial data in your hunt for agates.





A few words about the nomination process


For the sake of transparency we feel we need to clarify how our nomination process works; each issue is compiled by certain members of the SteemSTEM community. This week's editorial team was comprised of @ruth-girl.

The editorial team chooses their favorite posts for the week and each issue is the result of their joined effort. In order to keep the process fair, posts written by the editorial team are excluded from the nomination process.

Don't be discouraged if you didn't make it on this issue. The competition is harsh and there is always a next time :) In the meantime, you may wish to check these guidelines for extra tips on how your writing can be more effective.


Authors That Received a Curie Upvote by the SteemSTEM Team


In the same spirit of being transparent about our actions that are now supported by @curie, we will release every week a list of authors who have caught the attention of the @steemstem curation team.

If you want to discuss this with us, please do not hesitate to join the steemSTEM discord server or to follow our curation trail (just ask us for more information on the chat for details).

Early is good. Mondays are good for me in particular since I work with Canada and the US and I live 7 or 8 hours ahead of them. By the time they get to work and file for bugs and are done with the specification meetings, I am already ready to go home for the day
Procrastination at its finest! :D
The sad part is that on Fridays I get to stay overtime.

Congrats to everyone involved!

Thank you @alexdory! :)

Thank you @fancybrothers :)

Such great articles over such a diverse range of topics. It's an honor to have been chosen to be among them!

I hope you have been well! Take care my dear ❤️

Thank you @pearlumie!! :)

Great mix of different areas this time! All of these posts are amazing, but my favorites were the spiders and schizophrenia. Probably because I love spiders and I have always been intrigued by how different people perceive the world in different ways!

Thank you! We try to keep a balance between a variety of topics (although psychology won this time)

Very good post, very good compilation. Continue like this, I hope to continue reading material of this quality

Thank you! :)
