SteemSTEM Distilled #73

in steemstem •  6 years ago 

SteemSTEM aims to make Steem a better place for STEM, a task which we believe crucial for the long-term development of the blockchain. Our goals consist in invigorating and inspiring the minds of a community of STEM aficionados on Steem, targeting on the long-term the upgrade of SteemSTEM as a real platform for science communication. In the meantime, this goes through the support of quality, interesting and cutting-edge STEM content.

For more details, a recent update on the SteemSTEM project is available here. If you want to discuss with us, please do not hesitate to join the steemSTEM discord server.


In order to support the best STEM content on Steem, our team scours the blockchain and read more than a couple of thousands of STEM-related posts per week. We hence support about 200 of these posts, and present in this distilled our top 8 handpicked choices for the last Thursday-Sunday period.


Monday - Wednesday


Tobacco: The Plant and the Smoker

An addictive habit is being discussed in this first post of our new week, that of smoking. @masterwriter has written a great piece on tobacco. From the plant and process of making cigarettes to the reasons people take up smoking and the effects on a smoker's health, you will surely learn a lot by reading this post!

Super Cool Science S#!t #24 - The Destroyer of Worlds

You've definitely seen a bunch of posts on black holes around here, but @thatsweeneyguy's is different. Enjoyable and well-written, it promises to teach you in a fun way. Don't miss reading this one!


Wednesday - Friday


The Quantum Theory: Can Quantum technologies revolutionize the 21st Century and ultimately change our lives?

An extended and thorough post by @emperorhassy on quantum technology and how it can change our lives! Don't worry, it's in comprehensible English, you don't need to be an expert to appreciate the post's value!

Biography of Bernhard Riemann (1826 — 1866)

And moving on next, we have a beautiful post on the life of a great scientist. @romualdd presents us with the story of Bernhard Riemann, an excellent mathematical mind of the 19th century.


Saturday - Sunday


Would you love to see how I trained my small, tiny, powerful neural network?

Do neural networks intrigue you? Then this is a post you shouldn't miss! @nikolanikola shows us how he "trained" his very own neural network. Let's follow him and see what he accomplished!

INTRODUCTION TO CARTOGRAPHY - ELEMENTS OF ISARITHMIC MAPPING

One of our cool engineers will close this week's issue. @lordneroo, with his ongoing series on cartography, has published another fantastic piece! The elements of isarithmic mapping are being discussed here and if you've missed a few of the previous parts, you can always pay a visit to his blog to catch up with his series!


A few words about the nomination process


For some time, the editorial team behind this distilled series is made of a one-woman-team, @ruth-girl, and she chooses her favorite posts (potentially discussing with other curators and/or the management). Posts written by the SteemSTEM team are excluded from the nomination process.

Please do not be discouraged if you did not make it on this issue. We are picking up in total 14 posts a week out of more than 200. The chances are thus low ;) In the meantime, you may wish to check these guidelines for extra tips on how your writing could be more effective.

Sorry for being late! I lost the habit :)

And congratulations to all featured and supported authors!

It arrived right on time; in due time :D

I lost the habit of that reply as well :D

Perfect timing if you ask me!

Does it mean I am perfect? Oooooh thank you! :)

Hehe!

Good to see those stats back! :3

They are never far from me, and since I am back... ;)

:P

You're not late, you're on time! You posted it right on Montuesday! :P

Felicitaciones a todos! 😜

Well done for another week authors!

This is not very Greek... I am feeling a joke I didn't get there... What happened during my absence? ;)

It's not Greek at all 😜
My brain is just a mess and I need to fight it with some humor!

My advice: try Greek humour! :)

Congratulations to all wonderful members of this amazing community! Thank you so much for the support!

Thank you very much for your contribution (oops, you know, power of habit...)

Big congrats to every of the handpicked authors and to everyone that received steemSTEM's vote.

Nice selection again @ruth-girl. And kudos to the entire management of steemSTEM.

SteemSTEM rocks!!!

We will always rock! Even during the summer break! ^^

Thanks Sammy! 😘

Hey Hey Hey, Congratz to all and thank you ;)

Thank you for being with us! :)

The time is just right, I'm still awake :)
Good job team.

We are rocking awesome colleague, aren't we?!

Yes, we are :D

Wow....this is marvellous. I'm very glad my post is among the featured posts. This is a great incentive for me.

Congratulations to the remaining featured authors. Let's keep it up and make @steemstem the best place to be.

A big thanks to the management of @steemstem, the Oga patapatas @lemouth and @justtryme90 and also a big shout out goes to the ever-consistent and amazing @ruth-girl for all the great work she's been doing. I wish u guys more power to your elbows.

Let's continue to steem on guys!
@steemstem is the best community on steemit and my beloved @stemng is the best sub-community.

Thanks.

You are welcome, but note that you are actually the one deserving to be thanked. You wrote this great contribution that we featured! :)

It's a pleasure. I'm really honoured.

Congratulations my brother! You deserved it man... Keep it up!

Thanks, bro. U're my inspiration.

A fascinating selection, as usual. Have already dipped into The Destroyer of Worlds and am looking forward to reading the others--the article on cartography, especially, because I'm a map addict.

It's nice to see you like our picks! Have fun reading! :)

Thank you @steemstem for the wonderful work you guys are doing in promoting STEM and for the encouragement given to us to keep on making wonderful post.

Upvoted and resteemed.

Congratulations to the authors. Seeing new names in the list is really a great feeling, together we are setting the standards higher than ever before!
Cheers to the STEM universe.

One new author a day keeps the doctor away! :)

thts an epic one! :D

In a kind of arrogant way, I know. I am proud of my inventions :D

Congratulations to my co-authors. Thanks management for the awesome job. This is a great report.

@sciencetech
STEM contributor

Thank you!

congratulation to the authors

Thank you! :)

Heey, thank you very much for your support! Really, this is a big boost for my confidence and motivation to keep writing for this community!:)

That's one of our goals with this series, encourage and shed some light on people who are worth it! Keep up the good work and more features will come! ;)

Congratulations to all the authors, who contribute with quality projects to this blockchain. My best wishes for success.
Good vibes.

Thank you for the kind comment! :)

Wow! Thank you! I am grateful for getting into this SteemSTEM Distilled, especially in this prime-number-73th Distilled 🤓

We will now have to wait a bit for the next prime-time distilled ^^

Unfortunately :(, we still have a sizable stock of prime numbers, but when STEM Distilled will come to huge values, we'll use the formula to check when the next prime number will be... oh wait xD

With one distilled a week, I will definitely have already decayed by then :D

Haha, you can do it @lemouth! :)

Oh, that looks really promising! Like a spam filter...

That would be an extreme filter. There are much more than only 6 worthy posts. In fact, @steemstem automatically resteem any article (by an author who is not part of the management or curation team) voted by at least 40%. This would provide maybe a better option for a STEM-spam filter ;)

Congratulations to all!. Regards.

Thank you for being a member!

😁👍

Even though my name is missing here, yet I cannot stop loving this community and being appreciative of her support to the entire stem writers. Thanks you @steemstem.

Congratulations to all authors.

Thank you for dropping by @eurogee! Your kind words are welcome! :)

Even always welcome! :)
