Welcome to the 47th issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a bi-weekly 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 6 handpicked choices for this Monday-Wednesday period.
Did you miss Hive account@tking77798's brilliant posts? Because he has published another one this week and the topic? How Peptic Nucleid Acid (an artificial DNA "copycat") can be used as an antibiotic. Haven't you read that yet?
An "electrifying" post by Hive account@pangoli is here and discusses... electricity. A little catch up on static and current electricity, how electricity works in the human body and what damage can electric shocks cause to it. Trust us, you want to read it!
Hive account@chloroform is here with another excellent animal post. Who is starring in this one? Alligator Snapping Turtle. You do want to learn more about this cannibal weirdo, so go ahead and click on that title!
A very interesting post by Hive account@egotheist in his Debunk-Tuesday series. This post is all about "demystifying" Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Aren't you going to read it?
Introduction to cartography is a series under the #engineering tag by Hive account@lordneroo. In this part he discusses color vision and the most common three color systems (not only) cartographers use. Spare the time to read it, you will definitely learn something!
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 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 :)
