SteemSTEM Distilled #13

Welcome to the thirteenth 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 - WCG: Fight AIDS at home - Analysis of HIV wild-type and mutant structures via in silico docking against diverse ligand libraries.
The World Community Grid is a project that enables anyone with a computer, smartphone or tablet to donate their unused computing power to advance cutting-edge scientific research. In this post, @donkeykong9000, gives us an overview of how the project has helped in the fight against AIDS.

Tuesday - The Body Clock – a brief Introduction to the Circadian Rhythm

The Circadian Rhythm is essentially an internal clock we all carry inside us and it controls way more aspects of our biology than you can probably guess!

Wednesday - My first “shrink” pick: Alfred Alder. What came after the analyst couch

@erh.germany is a newcomer in #steemstem and in her latest post she gives us some insight on Alfred Adler (1870-1937), world renowned philosopher and psychiatrist, and why his work was so important in the field of psychiatry.

Thursday - #10 IQ overload: Paul Dirac

A post on another great quantum mechanics scientist from @jakipatryk’s series, Paul Dirac.
An interesting and useful post by programmer @ruelrevales on how to make coding appeal more to students.

Saturday - The Physics Of Dandelion Dispersal Could Inspire Windborne Micro Drones

Read this fascinating post from @rickie to see how the studying of dandeliion spores’ flight could find application in micro-flight science.

Sunday - Vaccination: The Dangerous Myth that will Kill, Part 5 of 5

Vaccination and purpoted links to autism, quite the hot button topic on the interwebs these days. Here @kryzsec discusses his take on some of the research surrounding these claims.

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, and @justtryme90.

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.


Authors That Received a Curie Upvote by the SteemSTEM Team


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.

From December 3 to December 10, we rewarded 98 different authors who have written a total of 157 different articles. The authors who received both a @steemstem and a @curie vote that week are:
