SteemSTEM Distilled #7

SteemSTEM Distilled #7

Welcome to the seventh 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 - MRI Scans and How They Work?
Ever wondered how MRI imaging works? Well, @mcfarhat did so he went on a journey to educate himself and us on this very important medical imaging technique.

Tuesday - The Amateur Mycologist - Random Find - Tulostoma lloydii - A Puffball On A Stick (With Spore Microscopy And Non-Responsive KOH Test)

Our fungi expert, @dber, shows us another of his cool finds, this time it’s Tulostoma lloydii, which looks like a puffball on a stick

Wednesday - Life’s Role in Geology Part 1: How to Stop an Exploding Planet

A very informative post by @mountainwashere about the geology of Venus and why it’s so different to Earth’s!

Thursday - EGYPTOLOGY: All hail the king!

Another amazing egyptology post from our @laylahsophia is here! Read on to learn more about pharaos apparel and what hidden messages it carried.

Friday - Bats, diseases, and the Ebola epidemic

We love reading @zycr22’s thorough posts! In this one, we learn about bats being carriers of dangerous diseases. How that happens, how we should protect ourselves and what our attitude towards those nocturnal creatures should be is still not certain.

Saturday - The Later Stone Age of South Africa: Hunter-gatherers’ way of life - Ethnographical Evidence

Do you want to learn amazing facts about the San hunter-gatherers? Follow @zest on his extensive post for more!

Sunday - A Deeper Look at Shallow Geothermal - Part 1: Heat Storage

)
@Gra is one of our few (for now!) geology posters and in his latest post he gives us a simple breakthrough of shallow geothermal systems and how they work.

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. 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.


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.
