Welcome to the 63st issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a bi-weekly 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.
Our team scours the platform for original and quality content.
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 6 handpicked choices for the last Monday-Wednesday period.
Monday
Economics and The Environment Part 1: The Cost of Climate Change
@mountainwashere has started a very interesting series under the title "Economics and The Environment".The first part tries to estimate the costs of climate change. For more details read his post!
Can we talk about something faster than light? Definitely not Usain Bolt.
A terrific and extended physics post by @writeit discusses particles faster than light. If you like to combine knowledge with some humor, you'll surely want to read this one!
Tuesday
Can Diesel engines run on Vegetable oil? Let's find out.
Do you have an answer to the above question? Well, @rharphelle has done some really good research and gave us an amazing post on the topic. To get your answer, you know which link to follow!
FROM CLONING TO ARTIFICIAL OVARY- THE ENGINEERED OVARIAN SCAFFOLD SOLVING CANCER COMPLICATIONS IN FEMALES
In this brilliant post @oluwoleolaide discusses how scientists can help women who have been cancer pantients become mothers after their treatment. Read @oluwoleolaide's post to find out how!
Wednesday
Does Math Represent Reality? Maybe Not.
@procrastilearner has written a beautiful mathematics post trying to show us how the language of numbers cannot always speak reality. Don't miss out on it!
Are there Antimatter Regions inside our Hubble Bubble? (Particle Physics Series – Episode 4D)
And our last but not least pick for today is one of @muphy's brilliant physics posts! Don't forget to check out the new episode of his "Particle Physics" series!
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.
During the last two weeks, steemstem supported with more than a (possibly split) full vote the following authors:
@artgirl, @carloserp-2000, @chloroform, @dber, @deathbatter, @effofex, @egotheist, @eurogee, @fredrikaa, @greenrun, @henrychidiebere, @herbayomi, @iamphysical, @irelandscape, @lemouth, @lesshorrible, @mountainwashere, @muphy, @openschool, @phage93, @procrastilearner, @ruth-girl, @samminator, @sco, @teekingtv
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 'Montuesday'!
