SteemSTEM Distilled #108

Hard forks make distilled delayed... However, we are happy to be able to say that our witness (@stem.witness) has only missed one single block during the mess. There are advantages in being low in the rankings. Anyways, let's go back to business with our 108^th distilled.

Before presenting the top two handpicked post choices of @lemouth and some statistics, we are happy to display the best SteemSTEM articles that have been found by our (English-speaking) curators last week:

Interested in being part of that list, please check these guidelines or ask for a mentor on Discord or on the Steem Chat.

Do you want to know the common ground between 105 and 108? Here it is... ;)

Presenting a whole new organ in skin to sense pain

@scienceblocks resurrected his mice and here we go again for a new episode of his journal club series. This time, he discussed a discovery on pain and how Schwann cells could help getting information on it. Do you want to know more about pain, those fancy Schwann cells and the skin? Then this post is four you!

Reflections on Anger

@abigail-dantes is back with her weekly psychology post. This time, she discusses anger and frustration and how it affects us at various level. In any case, it is important to (at least try to) prevent anger from surfacing! Please do not hesitate to pass by her post to get more information!
