Welcome to the 37th issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a bi-weekly 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, a recent update on the steemSTEM can be found here, and a not so recent one there. Moreover, if you ask yourself about what it means to be part of steemSTEM, please check here.
Our team scours the platform for original and quality content.
After working through thousands (literally!) of STEM-related posts and upvoting more than 150 that we deemed to be worthy, we proudly present you our top 6 handpicked choices for this Monday-Wednesday period.
##
Monday
### Animal Series #13; The Apex Predator Of The Sea
In this post of his “Animal Series” @chloroform talks about the mighty hunter of the seas, the shark. Don’t miss it.
### Seeing Inside of the Things With Muon Scanning Tomography
A post for the physics lovers of the community that talks about muon tomography. Do you want to learn more about it? Then read what @gokhan83kurt has written for you.

### The Side Effects of having ‘Clean’ Water
Harmful pollutants in our water call for water treating processes before consumption. However, can “clean” water have side effects? Watch another excellent video by @exercisinghealth. The “verdict” might shock you.
### How Coyotes Are Killing The Red Wolves
The population of the endemic species of the red wolf has been on the decrease and the culprit is… the coyote. Read this post from @sustainablyyours to learn more about it.

### Aging in Reverse – Immortal Jellyfish
Turritopsis Dohrnii is a jellyfish that has the ability to live for ever. How? @katerinaramm explains it very well in her post.
### Geology and Civilization Part 2: Not a Drop to Drink
The second part of @mountainwashere’s series “Geology and Civilization” talks about a precious element… water. Are we in danger of running out of it soon? Read on and find out.

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 mid-week’s editorial team was comprised of @ruth-girl.
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 :)
