SteemSTEM Distilled #94

SteemSTEM Distilled #94

Welcome to the 94th issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a curation effort by the members of the @steemstem team.
After a break of one week (@lemouth was crazily busy with physics), the distilled is back, and with a fresh logo! Does the distilled include stats? Please scroll down to check. But don’t forget to have a look to the selected posts in the first place!
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 and the active development of our app, steemstem.io.
Reminder: Please set @steemstem as a beneficiary to your posts and use steemstem.io. Stronger upvotes (up to 10% more) are guaranteed. Moreover, feel free to join the SteemSTEM discord server to discuss with us and meet us.

We present in this distilled our top three handpicked choices for the last week, out of about 100 weekly supported posts (from several hundreds of STEM-related posts on Steem). This week’s distilled highlights were selected once again by @lemouth.
Please do not be discouraged if you did not make it on this issue. The chances to be picked are low. In the meantime, you may wish to check these guidelines for extra tips on how your writing could be more effective.

Monday - Thursday (first half of the week)


Let’s play - a mental game of time perception

Time. What is time? What would happen if our internal clock would be ticking way slower. Way way slower. And what about faster? the way humans perceive time drives the way we see the world. @erh.germany introduces a very intriging thought experiment to start discussing about time perception and issues that could be connected if human’s life would spend in a day, or even less (or much longer). Feel free to read the post and share your view.

The Lion’s Temple of Medinet Madi

Lions! They play a special role in the iconography of ancient Egypt, connected to the power of the pharao and related to some of the powerful Egyptian’s gods. @laylahsophia tells us more about them and about one of her recent research works on lion pictures present in Egyptian oases. Science communication as SteemSTEM is proud to support!

Thursday - Sunday (second half of the week)


How free are we truly, and how much of us is instinct and biology?

When do we start making a decision or controling a situation and when are we acting instincitively. @cryptosharon starts a very interesting philosophical debate in her post. Feel free to have a look and participate.
