Welcome to the 67th issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a curation effort by the members of the Hive account@steemstem team.
SteemSTEM aims to make Steem a better place for STEM, a task which we believe crucial for the long-term development of the blockchain. Our goals consist in invigorating and inspiring the minds of a community of STEM aficionados on Steem, targeting on the long-term the upgrade of SteemSTEM as a real platform for science communication. In the meantime, this goes through the support of quality, interesting and cutting-edge STEM content.
For more details, a recent update on the SteemSTEM project is available here. If you want to discuss with us, please do not hesitate to join the steemSTEM discord server.
In order to support the best STEM content on Steem, our team scours the blockchain and read more than a couple of thousands of STEM-related posts per week. We hence support about 200 of these posts, and present in this distilled our top 8 handpicked choices for the last Thursday-Sunday period.
Our week opens with a very interesting post by Hive account@lemony-cricket. Do you want to learn more about encryption? Then this is a piece you should read!
Hive account@henrychidiebere has written a great post on smart cards. How many applications does this technology have in our lives? The answer is a lot and for more information you now know which post to read.
Who doesn't love Hive account@abigail-dantes' psychology posts? This week she writes about our search for validation and approval from others. Why is it that we seek confirmation from our environment to define our "self value"? Hive account@abigail-dantes explains it all very well!

A few words about the nomination process
For some time, the editorial team behind this distilled series is made of a one-woman-team, Hive account@ruth-girl, and she chooses her favorite posts (potentially discussing with other curators and/or the management). Posts written by the SteemSTEM team are excluded from the nomination process.
Please do not be discouraged if you did not make it on this issue. We are picking up in total 14 posts a week out of more than 200. The chances are thus low ;) In the meantime, you may wish to check these guidelines for extra tips on how your writing could be more effective.
