SteemSTEM Distilled #4

SteemSTEM Distilled #4

Welcome to the fourth issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a 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 click here.

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: ##
Monday - Psychology Addict # 18 | Individual Differences : Personality

Tuesday - Hunting the Elusive Morel Mushroom Using Spatial Data and GIS

The Morchella is a weird-looking and elusive mushroom that only very few know when and where to find it. In this post @Gra shares his precious knowledge so that we can “hunt” it ourselves!

Wednesday - A Cure for Alzheimer’s Disease? No, just a long line of late stage treatment failures…

Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. In this post, @holbein81 breaks down all the basics there are too know about this incurable disease.

Thursday - Best Chocolate Texture

Who doesn’t love chocolate? Most of us are more interested in devouring it, but don’t you wanna know how we get all these different textures and the science behind it? Follow @ertwro’s post for some tasty chocolate magic!

Friday - Ceramics Water Filter for Safer and Healthier Drinking Water

We know that tap water is not always safe to consume, therefore we’ve been spending a lot of money to buy filters that promise to provide us with clean and safe for consumption water. But this does not have to be the case! According to @asbonclz, a device called “hydria”, which is nothing more complicated than a ceramic filtering pot, can work miracles in removing dangerous bacteria from our water. Intrigued? Read his post and learn more about it!

Saturday - #7 IQ overload: Louis de Broglie

An episode of @jakipatryk’s series IQ overload is here again. This time he digs into the life and work of a man that defied the family tradition of humanitarian studies and pursued his dream to become a physicist, a great one that even got awarded with a Nobel Prize. Click on the above link and find out more about this remarkable scientist, Louis de Broglie.

Sunday - I Found and Hatched a Mushroom Egg

This is the story of a weird egg @fabulousfungi found in the forest. You won’t believe what came out of it!

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 @ruth-girl & @trumpman. A special mention goes to @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.
