Welcome to the fifth 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.

Tuesday - The workflow to print in 3D – an overview

Wednesday - Why We Suffocate On Mars… And Possible Solutions…

Thursday - The ITER Project: Future of Endless Clean Energy?

Friday - A Discussion About Climate Change – Part 2: Atmosphere

Saturday - What Do You Know About Time Crystals - The Newest State Of Matter?

Sunday - Mythbusting with metagenomics: How scientists disproved the common belief that urine is sterile

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.

In the same spirit of being transparent about our actions that are now supported by @curie, we will release every week a list of authors who have caught the attention of the @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.

On week-41,from October 9 to October 16, we rewarded 63 different authors who have written 126 different articles. The authors who received both a @steemstem and a @curie vote that week are:

@a-random-person, @abigail-dantes, @altherion, @apsu, @asbonclz, @aximot, @busser, @carloserp-2000, @corsica, @crazy-daisy, @cristi, @damzxyno, @dana-edwards, @dber, @dean101, @elpatito, @ertwro, @fabulousfungi, @freddbrito, @fredrikaa, @fugetaboutit, @fulsketch, @gra, @herpetologyguy, @holbein81, @howo, @irime, @jakipatryk, @jamhuery, @janusface, @jedigeiss, @jefpatat, @justyy, @keuudeip, @kharrazi, @kuku12170, @laylahsophia, @mcfarhat, @mcw, @mes, @mountain.phil28, @n3bul4, @nitesh9, @paikan, @ragepeanut, @raviyanda, @samminator, @sc-steemit, @shehzad, @shellany, @simplifylife, @steelwings, @steeminator3000, @sweetpea, @tanata, @techmojo, @teukumukhlis, @tingargiola, @tolulope.tolu, @valth, @vannour, @zest, @zycr22

Ok, so many of you are interested in science. You read an article on a science blog or magazine, watch a documentary on youtube or the discovery channel, you even come across a video on facebook and you get the inspiration to write your next steemit post under the #science tag, but does your post deserve it?

Science is a field driven by the application of the scientific method; one where no information gets accepted without confirmation through observation and data collection. Science is respected and considered an authority, specifically because of its adherence to the ideals of answering hypotheses (questions) with data, one where theories are built by repeated confirmation of these hypotheses, and one where only more data can overturn a theory and replace it with another. Science is a field where new experiments are built on top of the results of those that came before, and one where crediting those giants upon whose shoulders we all stand is an absolute must.

Blogging about science however, is not the same as performing science, but not all science-posts are really that…scientific. This is a truth we all understand, because science can mean different things to different people. Nevertheless, the underlying unifying ideas all come back to the very same Science which we described above.

Blogging about science does not need be held to the same level of scrutiny as an actual scientific publication. However, we should still strive to do ‘Science’ justice, and by using the #steemstem tag and following a few simple guidelines, we each can achieve this with out too much difficulty!

In short, a #steemstem post should:

• Follow a logical course, supported by arguments.
• Have proper syntax, grammar and spelling (poor language use often destroys the clarity a post describing a scientific concept should have).
• Be well-written in a clear way, no obscurities, misunderstandings or misinterpretations.
• Be well-formatted.
• Be well-researched.
• Not spread false information.
• Cite your sources and credit* your images.

*Images should be properly credited to their owners. It is advisable that you use images with no copyrights, such as PD (Public Domain - no copyrights) or CC0 (Creative Commons licensed - the creator has set zero terms on their use). In case you want to use a copyright-protected image, you should ask for the creator’s consent. Fair use of copyrighted images is allowed in cases of educational content, research, personal use or any other use that is beneficial to the public.

The steemSTEM (@steemstem) community is here to support STEM-related posts, where STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. If you wish your post to be noticed and curated by steemSTEM (@steemstem), then seriously consider the above. This will help us help you and shed light to posts left undervalued and unnoticed.

If you’re interested in STEM and like to create STEM-related content, feel free to use the #steemstem tag and join us in our channel in steemit.chat. We’d be happy to steem around with you!
