SteemSTEM Distilled #12

in #steemstem7 years ago

Welcome to the Twelveth issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a 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 click here.


Our team scours the platform for original and quality content.After working through thousands (literally!) of STEM-related posts and upvoting more than 200 that we deemed to be worthy, we proudly present you our top 7 handpicked choices:


Monday - Introducing August Piccard, Another Globe Advocate that Flat Earthers Falsely Claim as Their Own


We all know how @kerriknox loves to bust the flat-earth myth. Here is another wonderful piece of writing from him!

Tuesday - How to get old without aging


Are there any modern Methuselahs on the planet? Read @aboutcoolscience's post to find out what these organisms are.

Wednesday - Science Funding - Bubbles


Another amazing post of @ertwro is here, don't miss it!

Thursday - Total Daily Energy Expenditure


In his post @altherion explains all we need to know about our daily energy intake amounts.

Friday - Science Series about Fusion: Part 1- Introduction to Fusion


A new entry in the steemSTEM community, @maticpecovnik gives us his first post on his fusion series.

Saturday - The Saintliest of All Sands


@gra continues on his quest to prove to us all just how fun and interesting geology can be. In this fascinating post on Saint Peter Sandstone he shows just how versatile this unique rock can be.

Sunday - Mendel's Lucky Number Seven — The law of genetics that almost wasn't


Sing along with @alexander.alexis as he belts out the song of Gregor Mendel, father of modern genetics and lover of peas in this interesting and educational post.


A few words about the nomination process


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 week's editorial team was comprised of @ruth-girl, @trumpman & @justtryme90. A special mention goes to @locikll for helping with the markdown coding.

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 :) In the meantime, you may wish to check these guidelines for extra tips on how your writing can be more effective.


Authors That Received a Curie Upvote by the SteemSTEM Team


In the same spirit of being transparent about our actions that are now supported by @curie, we will release every week a list of authors who have caught the attention of the @steemstem curation team.

If you want to discuss this with us, please do not hesitate to join the steemSTEM channel on the Steemit chat or to follow our curation trail on Streemian. If you are not on Streemian, we have a plan B through a homemade voting bot. You can contact us on the chat in order to be added to its trail.

From November 25 to December 3, we rewarded 90 different authors who have written a total of 130 different articles. The authors who received both a @steemstem and a @curie vote that week are:
