Welcome to the 45th issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a bi-weekly 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 6 handpicked choices for this Monday-Wednesday period.
Monday

Another beautiful post by @gra is here. This time our topic is how GIS and spatial data can help towards making the use of renewable energy easier.
Insight #9: Implicit memory - remembering without awareness
In this wonderful piece @saunter continues his journey in the world of memory. Don't miss this stop ;)

Let's go to biology! An amazing series keeps flooding our feed with diamonds! Read the next part of @alexander.alexis' Sex Differences episodes discussing... brains!
Maxwell's Demon: Violation of The Second Law of Thermodynamics
How about some physics now? @anevolvedmonkey has decided to break down the second law of thermodynamics, don't you want to see how?
Wednesday
The Scattered Debris That Makes the Planet
Do you like space posts? Read this one by @irza to learn interesting stuff about asteroids, the flying debris floating around our planetary neighborhood.
Generation of Electricity from Human Footsteps: Taking a closer look
And some more physics for the end! A beautiful post by @ibk-gabriel on kinetic energy and how we can harvest electricity just by... walking!
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 mid-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 :)
During the last two weeks, steemstem supported with more than a (possibly split) full vote the following authors:
@aamin, @adetola, @alexander.alexis, @alexs1320, @anaestrada12, @bitfairy, @carloserp-2000, @cyprianj, @davidrhodes124, @dedicatedguy, @dysfunctional, @egotheist, @eleonardo, @gentleshaid, @gra, @greenrun, @highonthehog, @kingabesh, @lemouth, @logic42, @lordneroo, @micro24, @migueldavidor, @mobbs, @mountain.phil28, @procrastilearner, @proteus-h, @rharphelle, @ruth-girl, @samminator, @sogless, @soulesque, @steepup, @temitayo-pelumi, @valth, @vinamra, @whileponderin
We are expecting them to strongly engage the community in return :)
All curation rewards earned will be used to fund @steemstem project functioning and activities.
See you all next Monday!
