Welcome to the 46th issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a curation effort by the members of the Hive account@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 8 handpicked choices for this Thursday-Sunday period.
In response to Hive account@lesshorrible's NSAS ideas post, Hive account@deholt has given us a beautiful piece on free radicals in the human body. What are they? How can they be "fought"? Read on to learn more.
Hive account@whileponderin has given us another wonderful post on how nature isnpires great inventions. This one discusses airplanes and... birds, what else?
Do you enjoy animal posts? Read this one by Hive account@rickie to find out which animals are among the meanest creatures on this planet.
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 Hive account@ruth-girl.
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

If you want to discuss this with us, please do not hesitate to join the steemSTEM discord server or to follow our curation trail (just ask us for more information on the chat for details).
