By community, we consider both actual scientists that could use Steem to directly communicate about their work and state-of-the-art research, as well as passionate STEM enthusiasts that could share their knowledge freely and enthusiastically view and engage with experts and amateur content creators alike.
We believe that Steem can offer STEM professionals and enthusiasts a social media environment that actively promotes and supports them, through SteemSTEM, without having to rely on any middlemen (like journalists) who interpret raw information and oftentimes introduce inaccuracies.
In order achieve this goal, SteemSTEM has started to increase our visibility outside Steem and its community. Information needs to be widely spread and we therefore regularly advertise our actions and specific STEM posts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We moreover regularly organize meetups in top-notch science places like CERN or Virgo Labs.
Shortly after the summer break, we released our new open source app, steemstem.io, that we believe will become a valuable tool for STEM lovers and researchers to communicate and share information.
Our app is a full interface to Steem, and allows one to undertake any standard action that should be done from a Steem interface. This in particular includes the option to set beneficiaries to a post and to directly delegate some SP to another account.
It chronologically displays English posts carrying the #steemstem tag and approved by the SteemSTEM curation team. The language requirement can be modified (we support the Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Slavic languages providing each sub-community their own custom trending pages), and extra category filters (math, physics, …) can be enforced. The curation requirement can also be removed by the simple click of a button.
Our app finally offers extra exposure to our whitelisted authors and post promotion in the top banner can be purchsed by anyone.
There are still many features to implement before moving away from the beta version of the app, but the to-do list has been reduced by a lot thanks to our one-person development wizard.
In Q1 2019, we plan to continue working out this list, as well as to introduce gamification within the app. We for instance aim to track the best users in terms of engagement, and reward them with a stronger post support and new tokens of appreciations. More details will follow in the coming weeks.
Curators decide on the voting strength applied for each qualifying post, this reccomendation is then re-affirmed by a separte curator. Upvotes could be small (5%: encouragement or motivation), medium (20%: informative post on a given topic), standard (65%: post going beyond what could be found elsewhere) or high (100%: information on state-of-the-art research generally not available anywhere else).
Upvotes by the @steemstem account additionally trigger, under certain conditions (usually the best posts), a voting trail consisting of other initiatives like @curie or @utopian-io, as well as generous support from independent curators.
Within this scheme, getting higher support corresponds to bringing something to Steem that cannot be found anywhere else (cutting-edge science, novel and/or non-standard way of presenting a topic, etc.).
On different lines, SteemSTEM has started to build a repository of open-source images that could be requested by authors and used in STEM posts. This initiative, called stem-art, is supported by the SteemSTEM project. We make sure contributing artists are provided a reward for their work.
The picture below summarizes the number of posts and authors that we support since the creation of the project.
In these hard times (let’s say the last three months), the SteemSTEM community includes on a more or less stable basis about 75 authors who write a total of about 100 posts each week.
SteemSTEM is also proud to play a role in maintaining the Steem blockchain through the deployment of a witness (@stem.witness) and a seed node (seed.steemstem.io:2001) during the last quarter of 2018.
Make sure to follow SteemSTEM on steemstem.io, Steemit, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to always be up-to-date on our latest news and ideas. Please also consider to support the project by delegating to @steemstem for a ROI of 65% of our curation rewards (quick delegation links: 50SP | 100SP | 500SP | 1000SP | 5000SP | 10000SP).

Welcome to the 87th issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a curation effort by the members of the @steemstem team.
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 December 16 to 22, we rewarded 77 different authors who have written a total of 111 different articles. The 59 authors who received votes from @steemstem, potentially with either @utopian-io, @curie or both, are:
@abcallen, @abdulmath, @aellly, @aleestra, @alexaivytorres, @amart29, @amestyj, @anaestrada12, @anasav, @carlos84, @chloe1, @conficker, @deanliu, @djredimi2, @elvigia, @emiliomoron, @emynb, @endopediatria, @ericet, @erickyoussif, @fancybrothers, @felixrodriguez, @gokhan83kurt, @honoru, @insight-out, @irelandscape, @joseangelvs, @josedelacruz, @jrevilla, @julian2013, @lauch3d, @littlemix, @livinguktaiwan, @lupafilotaxia, @markgritter, @masterwu, @merynerleo, @mike961, @miroslavrc, @moncia90, @mr-aaron, @n4zrizulkafli, @oflyhigh, @osita21, @rbalzan79, @rifkan, @roguescientist84, @rscalabrini, @ryanshan25, @samminator, @sasaadrian, @scienceblocks, @softmetal, @sustainablyyours, @terrylovejoy, @tking77798, @tomastonyperez, @tomatom, @tsoldovieri, @yhubi, @zen-art
All curation rewards earned will be used to fund @steemstem project functioning and activities.
See you all next MonTuesday!

To facilitate this @justtryme90 stepped in and did his best to uphold the quality she puts forth on a weekly basis for you all.
