Welcome to the 82nd 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
Hyperinflation of mental diseases - The way we people see ourselves?
A beautiful post by @erh.germany is here to open the curtain of this week's issue. "Hyperinflation" of mental disease, is it a trend? Are we as crazy as we think? Are we just over-reacting? Erika does a very good research on the subject and you know through which link to read it!
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN): A technology for the masses.
With technology we move ahead and @henrychidiebere writes about WLAN networks and explains everything you need to know about them.
Wednesday - Friday
The Most Dangerous Ant in the World
@agmoore has made a fantastic post about ants "invading" hospitals. Read on to learn more about the "most dangerous ant in the world" as she calls it and its destructive effects.
Childhood stressors and the beginning of pathogenesis chain reaction (Part 2 - We carry the baggage of our childhood)
More psychology for you and @scienceblocks discusses stressors during childhood. When does the damage start and how? A very interesting piece you should not miss!
Saturday - Sunday
The neuroscience of music - your brain function and behavior are impacted
Another gem posted by @zen-art will show you what exactly music does to your brain. Wonderfully written and very detailed, it will surely teach you a lot!
A: What are the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear fusion compared to renewable sources?
And the curtain closes with an amazing comeback, @maticpecovnik (yes, the "fusion guy") has been swimming around the steemSTEM waters again and this time he speaks of the results of a "crash test" between nuclear fusion and renewable energy sources. Don't miss it!
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.
In the spirit of being transparent about our actions that are now supported by @utopian-io, @curie, our delegators, our trailers and our manual curator supporters, we release every week the list of authors who have caught the attention of the @steemstem curation team.
From November 4 to 11, we rewarded 81 different authors who have written a total of 117 different articles. The 50 authors who received votes from @steemstem, potentially with either @utopian-io, @curie or both, are:
@abdulmath, @abigail-dantes, @abumaryam, @adewumi, @agmoore, @alexaivytorres, @answerswithjoe, @chappertron, @cryptoitaly, @damzxyno, @discovery-it, @djredimi2, @drifter1, @elvigia, @emiliomoron, @eniolw, @erh.germany, @fancybrothers, @felixrodriguez, @fran.frey, @germanmontero, @hellfire-labs, @iptrucs, @iradyjr, @javier.dejuan, @jorgemora17, @josedelacruz, @lordneroo, @lupafilotaxia, @magicmonk, @marjanko, @masterwu, @maticpecovnik, @miroslavrc, @moncia90, @neurosurgery, @noobsin, @rbalzan79, @reconnectnature, @reinaseq, @rifkan, @samminator, @sardrt, @sargoon, @scienceblocks, @somebuttstuff, @soy-venezuelien, @svemirac, @tensor, @tomastonyperez, @tychoxi, @valth, @viannis, @wilmer14molina, @yhubi, @yreudy, @zen-art, @zoricatech
