Welcome to the 53rd 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
Ada Lovelace - Female Scientists Who Aren't Marie Curie
A series that tries to bring female scientists into the spotlight has been long going and here we have another great episode on Ada Lovelace. @tfcoates really does justice to her name on a post you shouldn't miss!
Object Oriented Programming in C
Programmers? Here is an amazing post for you by @irelandscape on the key attributes of object oriented design: encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism.
Tuesday
Installing and testing the MadAnalysis 5 particle physics platform on Win10 using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
@effofex has introduced us to a way on how to use MadAnalysis 5 on Windows and plenty of users now will thank him for it!
Could Radiation From Our Mobile Devices Kill Us? The Untold Truth About Cell Phone Radiation
Considering the fact that cell phones have taken over our everyday life and all those myths and truths around cell phone radiation, @blessing97 has made a great post in an attempt to set some things straight. Don't miss it!
Wednesday
What I Learnt Last Week 19: Extreme mobility of Mantis Shrimp's eyes, Fasting and stem's cells regenerative ability, Fast foods and child bearing, Why yo
@pearlumie has read about quite a lot of interesting things the past week about animals, biology, food and health. Have a read to learn some for yourself!
Someone Calling you Birdbrain? Don't be Offended. Intelligence Part 2.
No, birds are not that stupid! In fact some parrots may actually reach the intelligence levels of primates. Intrigued? Read @flyyingkiwi's post for more!
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:
@abigail-dantes, @aboutcoolscience, @agbona, @alexaivytorres, @alexs1320, @anaestrada12, @astrophoto.kevin, @carloserp-2000, @chloroform, @conficker, @dber, @dedicatedguy, @egotheist, @elvigia, @fancybrothers, @greenrun, @henrychidiebere, @joelagbo, @josedelacruz, @kingabesh, @lefactuoscope, @lemouth, @lordneroo, @mobbs, @mountainwashere, @procrastilearner, @ruth-girl, @samminator, @sooflauschig, @terrylovejoy, @tomastonyperez
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 (or Tuesday :D)!
