SteemSTEM Distilled #81

in steemstem •  6 years ago  (edited)

Welcome to the 81th issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a curation effort by the members of the @steemstem team.

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 several hundreds of STEM-related posts per week. We hence support about 100 of these posts, and present in this distilled our top 6 handpicked choices for the last week.


Monday - Wednesday


Debunking Further Bullshits About Evolution – And Observing The Trail Of Human Evolution

This week begins with @samminator and an "evolutionary" post! Human evolution and myths debunked is what we're reading here and we really really like it!

The discussion about mathematical culture (Cracow 1989)

@romualdd and Maths are coming up next! Another great piece is here to teach us about the culture of one of the most fascinating languages in the world, this of mathematics!


Wednesday - Friday


A new species of crocodile has been described for the first time in over 80 years!

You know @valth and his love for environment and animal posts! This time we got one of his pieces where he introduces us to a relatively new crocodile species. Don't miss checking it out!

Sex Drive: Fantasy Sex Is Where To Find Id

@alexander.alexis and his "kinky" series earns a place in this week's picks. In this episode it's the imaginary world of sex we're looking at and we do believe you're gonna love his "fantastic" post!


Saturday - Sunday


A: What is the physical meaning of Maxwell's equations?

Did you think we'd have no physics in this issue? Of course not! @irelandscape gives an excellent and detailed explanation of the Maxwell's equations! Read on for more!

How to live healthy? Part 1: What are Caloric Restriction Mimetics (CRM)?

And our week ends with @chappertron and a detailed post on health and nutrition. Our key-words here are "caloric restriction mimetics (or CRM)". You definitely should check this piece out!


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 6 posts a week out of more than 150-200. 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.

Congratulations to all authors!!!

Congrats to you, all curators and all management members as well!

Appreciated, and thank you too for your interesting pieces of text ;)

Thank you, @lemouth.

Special thanks to you for your constant interesting write-ups! :)

Yeeeeyyy I got featured on the distilled. My mum would be so proud right now. I'm gonna show her this 😂😂

Congrats to all the voted and featured authors.

Nice one again by @ruth-girl

:D

Well-deserved! Keep up the good work!

Oh! it was well-deserved, Sammy! Keep it up!

Congrats and great work!

Do you plan to bring your mom on SteemSTEM? :)

I've told her already. Maybe I'll be more persuasive this time.
With the acceptance of History in SteemSTEM, she'll feel at home here

Fingers crossed! We need to grow and any new good author is more than welcome! :)

Happy to see something more "unusual" on this page (if you know what i mean 😉😉)
All exceptional articles, but my favourite one is the one by @samminator!

Good job everyone!

I'm really honoured. Thanks a lot buddy

Even in these dark times in terms of posts (we are reaching all-time lows), there are still many good authors around and we still have a choice to make. That is for the bright side :)

Thanks for the feature! It has been some time since I had the spare time needed to write a decent science post, so it's great to see that it was appreciated when I finally took the time to make one again :)

As said above, they are always appreciated :)

I'm glad to hear that. There's nothing that makes me more motivated to research and write than getting encouragement from people who actually appreciates the result :)

Well done yet another week authors!

Thanks to you as well for taking care of this ^^

Congratulations to all handpicked authors for their contributions! Great job by @ruth-girl once again!

Thank you, my Lord! 🤗
