Welcome to the ninth issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a 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.

Our team scours the platform for original and quality content.After working through thousands (literally!) of STEM-related posts and upvoting more than 200 that we deemed to be worthy, we proudly present you our top 7 handpicked choices:
Another paradox by 
Hive account@mcfarhat, this time it's The Ross-Littlewood Paradox. This one illustrates the seemingly paradoxical, or at least non-intuitive, nature of infinity.
A very unique post by 
Hive account@mountain.phil28 explaining the science behind....autumn!
As one of the commenters said, "This is a [once again] hell of an article." by 
Hive account@ertwro, this time on proteins. Definitely a must-read!
An extensive and well-written post by 
Hive account@physics-o-mania on quantum cryptography, what it is and how it promises to shield the communications of the future.
Another wonderful post by our brilliant mycologist. Read on to see how mushrooms, the dead-eaters have benefited life for thousands of years.
In this post 
Hive account@kerriknox tries to explain how and why buildings appear to lean as we move farther away from them. Another great post on debunking the flat-earth theory, don't miss it!
Another amazing post about ancient Egypt by 
Hive account@laylasophia, this time on "magic" and the magical practices in ancient egyptian culture.
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 
Hive account@ruth-girl & 
Hive account@trumpman. A special mention goes to 
Hive account@locikll for helping with the markdown coding.
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.
Authors That Received a Curie Upvote by the SteemSTEM Team
In the same spirit of being transparent about our actions that are now supported by 
Hive account@curie, we will release every week a list of authors who have caught the attention of the Hive account@steemstem curation team.
If you want to discuss this with us, please do not hesitate to join the steemSTEM channel on the Steemit chat or to follow our curation trail on Streemian. If you are not on Streemian, we have a plan B through a homemade voting bot. You can contact us on the chat in order to be added to its trail.
From November 4 to November 11, we rewarded 67 different authors who have written a total of 119 different articles. The authors who received both a Hive account@steemstem and a Hive account@curie vote that week are:
