The inexhaustible STEM theme is once again present in the content produced by our community and disseminated through the blockchain, which we modestly recognize in this edition of our traditional STEMSocial distilled. The selection has been diverse with topics in Chemistry, Physics, Medicine and Agricultural Engineering and the recognized posts are briefly prefaced here by @eniolw.
It should be noted that we are in the midst of a participatory research project undertaken by our leader @lemouth, so special mention should be made of the work of the enthusiastic participants, such as @isnochys, @mangene, @servelle and others that will be recognized later or that I have not come across while writing these lines. Let's keep it up!
[Credits: @raj808]
This edition covers posts published in the period between 2022-03-22 and 2022-04-01. The criteria used for this selection have already been outlined in a previous distilled, which in a nutshell includes that they have been curated by STEMSocial, possess organic comments and their authors have not been awarded in recent editions of this report.
We encourage you to take a look at this choices and show your appreciation to the creators of this fantastic content.
Our top choices
Crystals: Nature’s Arithmetic Flowers
As @mengene says, "It's a good thing we know that diamonds don't grow into the shapes we see in jewelry", implying that the natural beauty of this crystal can be more than enough to arouse our interest. The truth is that many crystals with their various shapes and colors make an aesthetic impression on us, but so can scientific knowledge about them, which is not lacking in this informative post. We can see what the author was referring to with his apt title.
Why is sodium chloride edible if it contains sodium and chlorine?
The prolific chemistry blogger, @emiliomoron, sets out to answer a question about a very common chemical compound (also known as salt), which, however, carries a great paradox. By reading his post we will learn what the irony of the matter is about in addition to many interesting technical aspects, something that those versed in the matter are not surprised knowing how infinitely rich and diverse the chemical behavior of atoms can be.
Tales from the dialysis center: A very sad one
The experiences and clinical cases often have a bittersweet taste and @bhoa is in advance warns us how unfortunate the story he brings us has been and how it has come to touch her. In her post we can perceive how difficult a chronic kidney disease is when it acquires complications and when it affects patients with limited economic resources to opt for the necessary treatments. Life also has sad facets and we learn from it too.
Some considerations on fertilization and fertilizers
The agricultural expert, @amestyj, shares with us first-hand knowledge considering his extensive field experience, but not only there, because we know that agriculture has moved from being a technique to become a technology, and the key to distinguish them is the presence of scientific knowledge. It is not surprising, therefore, that by reading the post we will learn a lot of details of the science behind and next to the fertilization process, something we surely appreciate, because as a philosopher says, human beings are practitioners of "plant parasitism". It's in our best interest to get these things right - let's learn about it!
Are new phenomena in particle physics data already there? A single explanation to many anomalies!
If you want to get into science outreach blogging and original content on particle physics, you can't miss @lemouth's post. This time he talks about his recent solid science research and what he proposes to explain many anomalies currently featured in high-energy physics data. To know the answer you must read the post, because very cleverly the title does not contain spoilers, but if you want a preview, you can say that it has to do with the resurrection of some hypothetical particles. Which ones? Find out in the article.

Even though I check stemsocial's curation feed on discord every day, I still somehow manage to miss most of the posts, and apparently the good ones too.
This was on purpose of course... niark niark niark ;)
