Welcome to the 67th 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.
For more details, a recent update on the SteemSTEM project is available here. If you want to discuss with us, please do not hesitate to join the steemSTEM discord server.
In order to support the best STEM content on Steem, our team scours the blockchain and read more than a couple of thousands of STEM-related posts per week. We hence support about 200 of these posts, and present in this distilled our top 8 handpicked choices for the last Thursday-Sunday period.
Monday - Wednesday
Introduction to Cryptography I: Encryption (Pt. 4 - Block Ciphers/Modes of Operation)
Our week opens with a very interesting post by @lemony-cricket. Do you want to learn more about encryption? Then this is a piece you should read!
Smart Cards, A chip with so much applications
@henrychidiebere has written a great post on smart cards. How many applications does this technology have in our lives? The answer is a lot and for more information you now know which post to read.
Wednesday - Friday
Particle physics - exercise 1d solution
And for the physics lovers coming up next a particle physics post by @irelandscape that you will love!
Need For Approval & External Validation

Who doesn't love @abigail-dantes' psychology posts? This week she writes about our search for validation and approval from others. Why is it that we seek confirmation from our environment to define our "self value"? @abigail-dantes explains it all very well!
Saturday - Sunday
Which is better for your solar system installation; PWM or MPPT charge controller
Some more technology for you is here with a great post by @sunkanmi02 discussing the two alternatives for you solar system installation. Which one is best? Read his post and find out.
Schistosomiasis; An Overview of a Neglected Tropical Disease
And our week closes with an interesting health post by @herbayomi. The topic? Schistosomiasis, a disease easily spread through contaminated freshwater especially in tropical areas. If you want to learn more, you shouldn't miss this one!
For some time, the editorial team behind this distilled series is made of a one-woman-team, @ruth-girl, and she chooses her favorite posts (potentially discussing with other curators and/or the management). Posts written by the SteemSTEM team are excluded from the nomination process.
Please do not be discouraged if you did not make it on this issue. We are picking up in total 14 posts a week out of more than 200. 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.
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 July 8 to July 15, we rewarded 155 different authors who have written a total of 222 different articles. The 121 authors who received votes from @steemstem, @utopian-io and @curie all together that week are:

See you all next MonTuesday for a new distilled!
Woot my mentee made it!
:D Thank you for your mentorship! ^_^
Congratulations to the authors and well-done @ruth-girl / #steemstem for supporting good content posts.
Well done to all the community! We wouldn't have made it without all of you! :D
Congrats to all the selected authors! I'm looking forward to reading the posts when I have half an hour to spare ;)
And good job with the selection as always, @ruth-girl. I hope you are doing fine in regards to the forest fire we've been hearing a lot about today.
Thanks a lot @valth!! :)
Fortunately (for me) the fires are nowhere near my area, but the damage and death toll is disheartening...
I'm glad to hear that you are safe at least. But the death toll is just crazy already, and I'm afraid that it will be a lot higher by this time tomorrow. It's such a tragedy :(
It is bad, so far we have almost 80 dead victims and about 200 still missing. People have been organizing and trying to get help to those who lost their houses in the fires (gathering food and medicine or donating blood for the hospitalized ones). At least our humanity was not burnt...
It's really crazy. I'm happy to hear that people are doing their best to help each other out :) How's it going down there these days? The international media has mostly stopped writing about it, so am I right to assume that it's mostly under control by now?
Each time I think I'm aware of all the major people authoring #steemstem articles, distilled comes out and points out a bunch of others I'd somehow missed. Really enjoying how it keeps forging connections in the community.
Oh there is so much good work out there, it's hard to track all of it ;)
Thanks for being here! :D
Great selection this week. Looking forward to reading some of these!
Thanks you for the support to worthy steemians @steemstem. Certainly, the community is grateful to you guys. Congratulations to the authors

Wow; what an honour it is to make it into Distilled! Thank you to all of the curators, management, honour members, delegators, and all of the community for making Steem a more welcoming place for science and technical knowledge!
I would especially like to thank my SteemSTEM mentor @jpederson96 who provided some awesome feedback on my first couple of posts for SteemSTEM and helped to ensure that they were the best they could be. The mentorship program is one of the most unique and welcoming aspects of the community.
I <3 SteemSTEM ^_^
Congratulations
Guidance is indeed invaluable and apparently you have been a good student :P
