SteemSTEM Distilled #91

Welcome to the 91^st 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 and the active development of our app, steemstem.io.

By the way, do not hesitate to set @steemstem as a beneficiary to your post and to use the steemstem.io app.

For more details, a recent update on the SteemSTEM project is available on the SteemSTEM blog. If you want to discuss with us, please do not hesitate to join the steemSTEM discord server. https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mjifaKa9hEw/Wcfnw9LxF-I/AAAAAAAAMtI/jXT86uHth0kPt_O4Q2ilwkfLnknf1bHNQCLcBGAs/s1600/STEM_Distillation.jpg

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

Trekking Tech - Basic Hydration

@gra and his valuable lessons of “survival” will open this week. Read a great post on how to get your valuable water, when the supplies you carry have run out. You never know how useful this will be to you some day!

A compilation of information on alternative medicine: how anticancer drugs can be produced in yeast, a new tea plant with low caffeine naturally, potential antidote for botulism.

Another interesting and well-written post is here by @diamondmind. Alternative medicine and ways to treat serious conditions without the use of synthetic drugs are described in this post. Won’t you give it a read?

Thursday - Sunday

EVERY CHILD HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME A GENIUS

Every kid may evolve into a great mind and @yhubi discusses the topic very well in this post. This piece revolves around dyslexia and helps us understand a few basics and see that people coping with it are not of lower intelligence nor do they deserve our disapproval.

Observing the Earth’s Curvature

Someone has come back with a wonderful post on the curvature of our planet. This someone is our astrophotographer, @terrylovejoy! Don’t miss the chance to find more arguments to stand a fight with a flat-earther :P

Turning up the Electron Beam on an Electron Microscope

@roguescientist84 will close this issue with a dtube video. Have you been following the series “Reviving a Vintage Transmission Electron Microscope”? Then watch what happens when the electron beam is turned on!

A few words about the nomination process

This week’s distilled highlights were selected by @ruth-girl. She is back yet again to save us from picks by @justtryme90 (Eww… Gross Right?). Again she provides us her sharp, coherent, and kindhearted picks and description! Thank you Ruth! 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 100. 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.

Authors upvoted by the SteemSTEM team

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 January 14 to January 20, we rewarded XX different authors who have written a total of XX different articles. The XX authors who received votes from @steemstem, potentially with either @utopian-io, @curie or both, are: Stats To Be Provided Upon Availability of Stat Wizard

_{[Credits: @hightouch]}

All curation rewards earned will be used to fund @steemstem project functioning and activities.

See you all next MonTuesday!
