Good to have you back!
I really appreciate the time and effort put into SteemSTEM, and it's also really refreshing to have some transparency within the system too.
I definitely agree that for the most part, smaller rewards with a wider distribution is definitely the way to go. It will help SteemSTEM reach and inspire a wider community, opposed to the selected few.
Keep up the good work and I shall look forward to taking part within the community and contributing my bit in the future :)
We will focus on the rewards, but under the condition the community focuses on engagement. Let's see where this will bring us.
