Welcome to the tenth 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 - Chariklo, the baby Saturn of the solar system
Tuesday - Things In Our Stuff: Transistor
Wednesday - The Amateur Mycologist - Microscope Cleaning And Calibration For Dummies And My First Accurate Micrometer Spore Measurements
Thursday - Vaccination: the Immune System of Phagocytes, Part 2 of 5
Friday - Amazing Animals #2 The Emperor Penguin
Saturday - A recipe for water
Sunday - Remember your old tube tv? It's an particle accelarator! - Thoughts over thoughts
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.
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 November 11 to November 18, we rewarded 76 different authors who have written a total of 122 different articles. The authors who received both a @steemstem and a @curie vote that week are:
@abduhawab, @aboutcoolscience, @afifa, @alevale1010, @asbonclz, @aximot, @azirgraff, @azman, @bigdizzle91, @carloserp-2000, @crazy-daisy, @cristi, @dber, @delta1512, @draw-art, @drifter1, @ememovic, @ertwro, @etcmike, @eurogee, @fugetaboutit, @fulsketch, @geebell, @gikitiki, @gra, @haig, @herpetologyguy, @huitemae, @irime, @jaki01, @jamhuery, @jefpatat, @jmcmeekin, @jringo, @kedi, @kennyskitchen, @kerriknox, @kharrazi, @kryzsec, @ladyclau, @laylahsophia, @lefactuoscope, @liliana.duarte, @logic, @lorenzor, @mcfarhat, @mcw, @melanie00, @mountain.phil28, @mrs.nobody, @muphy, @nedspeaks, @nitesh9, @ongoingwow, @osmerj, @parejan, @pathi, @pearlumie, @physics-o-mania, @raviyanda, @remlaps, @robertlyon, @samminator, @sc-steemit, @steem-lagos, @tbaumer2, @thatsweeneyguy, @the-world, @thequantumknight, @toofasteddie, @trilo, @valth, @xamarynth, @yoes, @zest, @zycr22

See you all next Monday!
Great selection of posts once again!!!!
Thanks! You were almost selected again, dunno for what day don't remember it was you or another one. Couldn't decide, tossed a coin, you lost. The nomination process is amazing, don't you agree? XD
absolutely. Never expect to be selected anyways. when i do, its always a plus! simply glad to be part of steemstem. thanks again and job well done!
Lol... So it was a tie then.. I look forward to writing some STEM articles soon... I'm a College student in Nigeria. First, lemme go through the rules.
It's amazingly non biased at least. The coin knows no biases. I don't think he got your sarcasm though...
Turns out I should change the method! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2789164/
Thanks a lot! Our curators do their best! :)
And of course thanks for your contributions!
Great list again. Congrats to the awesome authors. Love to read your work.
Thanks @SteemSTEM for all the support and sharing these awesome STEM posts here. :)
It is our pleasure (but you know that already :p )
I love the idea behind th plattform steemit. Nice post!
It is indeed a great idea! :)
Congratulations, it is a great contribution to this great platform, people like you are the ones that are needed in this community, thank you.
Thanks for your kind message!
Congratulations!!!!!! it is a great contribution to this platform..............
Thank you!
Thank you so much for the great support. Great choice on topic of the week.I can't wait till am able to write great content to be featured among the top topics.
Thanks again for all the support as blogging about science won't be much fun without your support.
We are very happy about your engagement on this platform! Thanks to you for that!
thanks bro nice blog
You are welcome!
Thanks to all of you I basically have a small laboratory in my bedroom now. Couldn't ask for better motivation.
A small productive laboratory to boot!
With mushrooms? I should bring eggs for an omelette :D
I didnt make the list, I will continue to work hard. My time will come
It will, study what made these selected posts great and incorporate some of what they do into your own work. There are 10 weeks of these examples too, that's 70 great posts from which to get inspiration.
With some efforts, I am sure you will make it soon or later :)
Yeah. I am optimistic
I love these summaries :) So many great posts out there.
Totally! These authors deserve some visibility (as you, but we can't select everybody :p )!
Absolutely :) Is there any way to get feedback on a particular post that didn't get an upvote? (just so I can improve for next time?)
One of the reasons may be: we just missed it. We are humans.
You can try contacting us on the chat... but you know... sometimes contacting us for begging for upvotes leads to the opposite effect (imagine our DM box if all steemians would do that :p)
Yeah, that’s why I didn’t ask in the chat yet :P
Hehe!^ Lucky you ^^
Thanks for the support :)
thank you @steemstem.
you are welcome!
Another round of steemstem rocking steemit.
Go team !
Yep! As every week, we dig into the stack of posts, find the bests, miss some, reward some, have fun with some, etc... :)
Good job everyone that got curated by steemstem!
Thanks to you too for your nice blog!
I can't be thankful enough to my teachers in steemstem. They are the spine on which my science cranium has rested on. Special thanks to the entire management of steemstem. Go steemstem!!
We are also happy to have witnessed your improvement here! Please continue!
Thank you sir
very grateful to the group @steemstem every week shows that they are the number 1 tag in science congratulations. :D
We are doing our best to be the number one. Thanks to you too :)
All together we can achieve it my dear friend @lemouth :D
Thank you for including me in this awesome list! :)
Thank you for the great content!
Well, it is because you wrote something very good :)
Nice work steemstem
Guess i recieved an upvote from curie and steemstem and was not mentioned. The Laser post
Anyway good work
The mentions here are for two weeks prior to the posts publication (here November 11 through November 18). If you were recently voted, you will be mentioned in one of the next digest posts.
Was exactly 7 days ago yesterday.
You will be part of the 11th distilled. Our week starts on Sunday, 15:00 UTC. Please be patient :)
Not actually bothered. Just trying to understand how it works
Now you know ^^
Thanks guys, you are amazing. I'm so glad you are on steemit!!
I was about to say something, and I then noted that this was already said by justtryme90... :)
We are glad you are here too :)
I wanted to say a big thankyou to @steemstem for creating these distilled articles. I've learned so much and found so many creat blogs to follow. Ive been on steem for almost two weeks now and I'm seeing so much potential in being part of it's scientific community. These articles have inspired me to write my first researched scientific article for fun rather than for college!
Thanks for your very nice message. We will check you out soon :)
Muchísimas gracias! Keep up the good work
