Welcome to the 75th issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a curation effort by the members of the @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.
@scienceangel and her "Lab Diaries" open our week this time. An amazing and interesting biology post that can teach you how to make your own virus... Don't get any crazy ideas after reading this one!
@dysfunctional and psychology is coming up next! Another great piece that discusses how it is possible to change your personality. You will definitely enjoy this one as much as we did!
An excellent post on the chemistry of drugs by @cyprianj will teach you a lot about terms like biotransformation and drug synergism. You should read it!
And the last piece for our week is written by @n4zrizulkafli and talks about the delusion of grandiose. A post you will definitely find very interesting!
A few words about the nomination process
For some time, the editorial team behind this distilled series is made of a one-woman-team, @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 6 posts a week out of more than 150-200. 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.
