SteemSTEM Distilled #82
Welcome to the 82nd 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 several hundreds of STEM-related posts per week. We hence support about 100 of these posts, and present in this distilled our top 6 handpicked choices for the last week.
Monday - Wednesday
Hyperinflation of mental diseases - The way we people see ourselves?
A beautiful post by @erh.germany is here to open the curtain of this week's issue. "Hyperinflation" of mental disease, is it a trend? Are we as crazy as we think? Are we just over-reacting? Erika does a very good research on the subject and you know through which link to read it!
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN): A technology for the masses.
With technology we move ahead and @henrychidiebere writes about WLAN networks and explains everything you need to know about them.
Wednesday - Friday
The Most Dangerous Ant in the World
@agmoore has made a fantastic post about ants "invading" hospitals. Read on to learn more about the "most dangerous ant in the world" as she calls it and its destructive effects.
Childhood stressors and the beginning of pathogenesis chain reaction (Part 2 - We carry the baggage of our childhood)
More psychology for you and @scienceblocks discusses stressors during childhood. When does the damage start and how? A very interesting piece you should not miss!
Saturday - Sunday
The neuroscience of music - your brain function and behavior are impacted
Another gem posted by @zen-art will show you what exactly music does to your brain. Wonderfully written and very detailed, it will surely teach you a lot!
A: What are the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear fusion compared to renewable sources?
And the curtain closes with an amazing comeback, @maticpecovnik (yes, the "fusion guy") has been swimming around the steemSTEM waters again and this time he speaks of the results of a "crash test" between nuclear fusion and renewable energy sources. Don't miss it!
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.
In the spirit of being transparent about our actions that are now supported by @utopian-io, @curie, our delegators, our trailers and our manual curator supporters, we release every week the list of authors who have caught the attention of the @steemstem curation team.
From November 4 to 11, we rewarded 81 different authors who have written a total of 117 different articles. The 50 authors who received votes from @steemstem, potentially with either @utopian-io, @curie or both, are:
@abdulmath, @abigail-dantes, @abumaryam, @adewumi, @agmoore, @alexaivytorres, @answerswithjoe, @chappertron, @cryptoitaly, @damzxyno, @discovery-it, @djredimi2, @drifter1, @elvigia, @emiliomoron, @eniolw, @erh.germany, @fancybrothers, @felixrodriguez, @fran.frey, @germanmontero, @hellfire-labs, @iptrucs, @iradyjr, @javier.dejuan, @jorgemora17, @josedelacruz, @lordneroo, @lupafilotaxia, @magicmonk, @marjanko, @masterwu, @maticpecovnik, @miroslavrc, @moncia90, @neurosurgery, @noobsin, @rbalzan79, @reconnectnature, @reinaseq, @rifkan, @samminator, @sardrt, @sargoon, @scienceblocks, @somebuttstuff, @soy-venezuelien, @svemirac, @tensor, @tomastonyperez, @tychoxi, @valth, @viannis, @wilmer14molina, @yhubi, @yreudy, @zen-art, @zoricatech

All curation rewards earned will be used to fund @steemstem project functioning and activities.
See you all next MonTuesday for Distilled #83!
The post about ants is a good read, thanks for the link collection.

That is a great idea, if it does what I think it does :D
It's a great new tool written by @holger80

@lemouth, you can upvote the parent comment/post now.
You can give rewarding the posting authory for an automatic upvote (steemconnect
When giving posting authority to rewarding (similar as for steemauto), it can be used for delayed upvotes. It's a manual curation helper that helps to vote optimally around the 15 minutes window.
This is indeed what I figured out. That is smart :)
@agmoore's post is scary (as well as well-researched and written). Now, I am terrified of spiders and ants. :P
@agmoore, my husband said he wants to have a word with you. I think you're in trouble! :D
Excellent compilation for this week @ruth-girl and @steemstem! This week I was particularly fascinated by @scienceblock's post :)
Spiders and ants are just food as anything else. No need to be scaried ;)
😝
Oh dear, @abigail-dantes! I don't want to be in trouble:) Yeah, ants are creepy, and yet fascinating. After all that research I needed a break from them, but still... so much there. I kept thinking of the science fiction classic Them
😂 oh no!!
😁
I have to say something. When I saw my name mentioned here I was really happy. I felt like my hard-work is being recognized. And then I read that I am being refered to as being the "fusion guy". Well then I just had to start to laugh. I guess I am the fusion guy. :D
Then you need fusion food! As I said earlier, I am happy to have you back around here (although I am so busy that I missed already a couple of your posts... I will try to catch up later :p )
You wont believe it, but I was actually thinking about posting stuff about food fusion, just to meme you guys. :D
Just do it! ^^
Very Thanks @steemstem. The best science community of STEEM. Good job.
Do you mind if I use the logo on my footer to advertise for you? I have a BS in Physics and Mathematics and am also thinking about writing some STEM material for Steemit. I need to keep up-to-date. :)
Sure you can use the logo in your STEM posts. You can talk to us on discord and even DM any of the mentors there if you have any questions or require any help.
Feel free to do so. We have always some spare room for any new author ^^
Congratulations to all authors!.
Thank you for including me in this wonderful compilation. What would Steemit be without SteemSTEM?
As usual, you highlighting articles I might have missed. I did read @erhe.germany's post. And yes, it was beautiful. All of the others are intriguing. I will get to them today!
And feel also free to check the 50 highlighted authors if you have time ;)
Congrats for being part of the distilled this week!
Some of my favorite bloggers are in that group. But I will use the list as a reference to discover more favorites!
You can check on steemstem.io to find all voted posts in one click :)
What a beautiful site! I just tweeted out @marjanko's post about parasitic wasps. You're right. Everything is laid out--easy to access, attractive.
Thanks! We still need to develop many things, but we are on our way!
Nice work everyone!
