Welcome to the 52nd issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a 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 8 handpicked choices for this Thursday-Sunday period.
An egyptology post by @laylahsophia, this time she discusses science in ancient Egypt. If you loved her past posts, you will definitely love this one too!
A well-written post by @ced000 in an attempt to transfer the language of thermodynamics into the blockchain ecosystem. Read it to tell him what's your opinion!
An interesting post by @djoi on painkillers and paracetamol. Read on to see what you should be careful about next time you decide to relieve that headache.
Moving on to a post under the health tag, we have @conficker and the first part of a very interesting series. Here you will learn more about the Blue Baby Syndrome, read it before the second part comes out.
And some psychology for the end, @dedicatedguy discusses the feeling of vicarious embarassment, the state of feeling embarassed for other people. A reading you want to check out!
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 @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.
