SteemSTEM Distilled #96

After 2 months of absence, welcome to the 96^th issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a curation effort by the members of the @steemstem team.

We have tried to make the distilled a routine again. Really. But we failed because of physics. Whilst not fully back on tracks yet, here is a short distilled of what happened last week!

In the meantime, feel free to meet us on the SteemSTEM discord server.

We present in this distilled our top two handpicked post choices for the last week (from several hundreds of STEM-related posts on Steem). This week's distilled highlights were selected by @lemouth. Statistics are given at the end of this post.

Please do not be discouraged if you did not make it on this issue. The chances to be picked are low. In the meantime, you may wish to check these guidelines for extra tips on how your writing could be more effective.

Are Gender Stereotypes Accurate?

Stereotypes are getting a lot of traction today, all over the world. @alexander.alexis discussed gender stereotype and starts an interesting debate about their potential (in)accuracy, scientifically speaking. In addition, his post will allow you to learn more about some hidden master of chicks, on top of feminists' thoughts, and where gender differences are more (or less) important.

The History of Mendeleev and the development of the Periodic Table

If you like the history of science, you will like this last post from @empressteemah about the work of Medeleev and how he got to his famous table. This post will also show how he made great predictions about the existence of new elements (in the sense of showing an element should exist before it was discovered).

SteemSTEM offers support to anyone using our app, steemstem.io. We recall that:

• Posting an article through the app automatically yields a 5% stronger upvote at curation time.
• Posting a reply to an article (or to another reply) from the app can sometimes yield some SteemSTEM support.
• Setting @steemstem as a beneficiary to the post automatically yields a stronger upvote (up to 5%).

Last week, the SteemSTEM curator teams have supported 40 posts written by 35 authors. 16 of these posts have been posted through the app (and got a 5% stronger upvote). Among these 40 posts, we find:

• 8 small upvotes (less than 20%)
• 14 medium upvotes (in the 20%-50% range)
• 18 large upvotes (larger than 50%)

We have not upvoted any comment posted through the app (because there were not any).

The list of upvoted post authors, potentially getting some extra support from @curie and/or @utopian-io, is:
@agmoore2, @alexander.alexis, @amestyj, @anaestrada12, @belkisa758, @carlos84, @cervantes, @chappertron, @cheva, @eliaschess333, @empressteemah, @faltermann, @felixrodriguez, @gentleshaid, @ikchris, @indextrader24, @iptrucs, @lencarnacionmd, @loveforlove, @lupafilotaxia, @magicmonk, @maria1989, @miroslavrc, @phage93, @rbalzan79, @ribbitingscience, @ritch, @roguescientist84, @stayoutoftherz, @stem-espanol, @svemirac, @todociencia, @ubaldonet, @urdreamscometrue, @whack.science.

All curation rewards earned will be used to fund @steemstem project functioning and activities.

See you all next MonTuesday!
