Welcome to the 77th 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.
After a week of instability our amazing curation team has dug into the abyss of posts and got you another wonderful compilation for the week. Our first pick is @agmoore and her fantastic piece on men and women and how they perceive "sexual messages" and "decode" them as harassing or not. An interesting post you will definitely enjoy!
@zen-art and another lovely post follows next! Read about the almighty Vitamin C and the benefits it has to offer to you. No, it's not only helpful when you have a runny nose!
Psychology and @saunter for our mid-week selections and here we give you a piece on Jordan Peterson. A post inspired by a lecture of the famous professor, discussing the controversial academic and his work. Trust us, you will not get bored for a second!
An imaginative and original post inspired by the beauty of the colors of the sunset is here by @lycos. Read on to find what amazing mechanisms related to light plants have evolved. You will be fascinated!
Do you remember @n4zrizulkafli and the app he's been working on? This time he got a great post for us on certain exercise myths that people believe in. You'll be surprised with what you think you've known right all this time.
And we're saying goodbye with a post showing us the "marriage" of mathematics and other sciences. A very interesting piece of reading by @romualdd is here. It combines statistics and history using the Natchez native Americam indian tribe and their marriage habits as an example. You shouldn't miss it!
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.
