SteemSTEM Distilled #43
Welcome to the 43rd issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a bi-weekly 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 6 handpicked choices for this Monday-Wednesday period.
Monday
Basic knowledge of dark matter
A post by our architect, @kharrazi, that discusses the basics of dark matter. A mystery of the universe that remains unsolved and continues to amaze us, is beautifully presented here.
Fundamentals of Hydroelectricity
@temitayo-pelumi has written a beautiful post on hydroelectric power. Types of turbines, benefits and drawbacks of hydroelectricity, how to set a hydroelectric plant, you can read all about it in this post.
Tuesday
What I Learnt Last Week 17: The Nasal Polyps, Antibodies and Alzheimer's, Hormones' effect on girl's interests, Secret keeping trais, and The Danger of Fast Foods.
A knowledge pot pourri by @pearlumie who seems to have finally made a big come back. Welcome him by reading his post and learning cool stuff like how dangerous chemicals can be found in fast food.
AEROPONICS : PLANTING BY SUSPENSION IN AIR : A Terrestrial and Extra-terrestrial planting method
Gardeners and farmers, pay attention to this post by @sogless on the method of aeroponics. Do you want to know more about how plants can grow and develop when their whole root system is exposed to air? Then read this amazing post!
Wednesday
Enzyme based Nanocomposites: An alternative to the effective killing of Pathogenic Bacteria
Who is interested in biology? Who finds nanotechnology fascinating? Well, this post is written to satisfy both. @vinamra discusses nanocomposites and their use against pathogens. Definitely a piece you shouldn't miss.
What is an orbit? Part 2: Common types of orbits
Another beautiful post for our collection, this time by @proteus-h who explains what an orbit is and what various types of orbits there are.
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 mid-week's editorial team was comprised of @ruth-girl with a tiny help from @lemouth.
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 :)
During the last two weeks, steemstem supported with more than a (possibly split) full vote the following authors:
@abigail-dantes, @adetola, @agbona, @alexs1320, @anaestrada12, @carloserp-2000, @churchboy, @davidrhodes124, @dedicatedguy, @dysfunctional, @gentleshaid, @gra, @greenrun, @highonthehog, @iamphysical, @itastem, @kingabesh, @latm, @lemouth, @logic42, @lordneroo, @micro24, @mobbs, @mountain.phil28, @procrastilearner, @rharphelle, @rscalabrini, @ruth-girl, @samminator, @sco, @sogless, @sooflauschig, @soulesque, @star-vc, @supersoju, @temitayo-pelumi, @valth, @vinamra, @whileponderin, @yann85
We are expecting them to strongly engage the community in return :)
All curation rewards earned will be used to fund @steemstem project functioning and activities.
See you all next Monday!
Later and later... tough week ;)
Congratulations to everyone!
We are people, we have lives, we have understanding among each other :)
True
Most times I think we are actually 1s and 0s :)
We speak through 1s and 0s, but we are human :P
we invented computers... they should speak human languages too xD
Wait, are you trying to tell me that the SteemSTEM team is not a complex AI, but rather real humans? :O
How are you able to do all this work then?
And the one of the next Monday may actually appear on Tuesday... Another offline week-end is scheduled ;)
Done! With the heavy rain and even snow on the way back :D
Oh my, your kidding?! :O :D
For me it was the first Pool time of the year. xD
Weather sucks... although today is passable... Not warm (1 Celsius at wake-up time) but at least dry enough to garden a little bit (May 1st is a holiday in France).
May 1st is also a holiday in Austria. I was lying in the sun for i think 4-5 hours. :D
Don't worry if things are a bit late. We know you and all the curators work hard!
I don't worry :D
thank you.
Wow... I am really honored to have featured in this week's distilled. I'm actually short of words right now. But, let me simply say that I am really indebted to this community. Your regular encouragement has been a motivation.
Special thanks all the steemSTEM crew members.
@ruth-girl, well done!
You are welcome! Thank you for all your contributions! :D
It is my pleasure.
Congrats with the feature, @temitayo-pelumi! You did write a really good post about hydroelectricity, so I'm not surprised at all that they decided to feature you ;)
Thanks for your kind words.
Well done to all those amazing authors who made it in this issue!!
Keep trying and giving life to this project, everyone! There can't be a community without its people! :)
I should maybe publish some voting stats, soonish or later :)
It is amazing how the community keeps finding interesting topics to write on and how the curators select the best among them. Well done @ruth-girl. Congratulations to the featured writers.
Yes! People keep giving better and better as time goes by! It makes up for the hard work of curation ;)
I suppose it does. Kudos to all of us, then :)
Wow! I feel honoured having my post in one of the handpicked posts for the week and an additional welcome message.
