SteemSTEM Distilled #33

in #steemstem7 years ago (edited)

Welcome to the 33rd 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

Ever watch the "Jurassic Park" series and wonder ...How, why and what? Well @chloroform starts of an indepth look at the different factors that effect extinction from the different aspects, in a great series on the Pathological Aspect of Extinction.



Social Chameleons – Taking Communication to Another Level


As a criminal psychologist and polygraph examiner @dysfunctional is continually exposing us all to different behavioural patterns of human beings.

How many of us have spent hours on end trying to get those perfect 6 pack of abs, and knew that situps were the only way to get them....Well thankfully to @exercisinghealth we are now able to find out the truth behind doing situps and a proper way to get that perfect 6 pack of abs finally!


Want to Fall Where, (Space Station) Tiangong-1?



We hear of new satallites or new different space projects all the time being lauched into space, but what happens to all these different space debris once it has fulfilled its mission or its lifespan has been reached.@irza provides an excellent post focusing on the Tiangong 1 re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere.





Wednesday


Sex Differences: Check out the gonads on that one!



In an excellently well written and detailed post @alexander.alexis goes indepth into the understanding of the different sexes. He takes us step by step into showing us how genes determine our sex.






The Tales of Pirates - “Gentleman Pirate” Stede Bonnet



'ho ho and a bottle of rum!'..... I am sure quite a few of us have watched the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series and wondered if any of these stories were true or did pirates actually roamed the seas, well @arrrados has provided us with an amazingly accurate account of one these Pirates...




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 mid-week's editorial team was comprised of @zest.

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 :)
