@lemouth has once again selected the two best posts found by our (English-speaking) curators from the (this time large) list of the most supported posts last week:

Our top choices
The Price To Pay For Technological Advancement?
@samminator, one of the oldest SteemSTEM members still on board, returned to write about STEM this week. He discussed the future of the human race when technological enhancements are accounted for, and emphasise the risk of getting to two classes of humans (enhanced and non-enhanced ones). Please pass by and contribute to the debate.
Gravitational waves, black holes & star clusters
Gastrophysics is a very young field in physics. @svemirac provides a crash course on the topic in his last post and details how gravitational waves have allowed us to directly discover black holes for the first time in human history. In addition, he also briefly mentions how life was imported to Earth by asteroids and the new results of GAIA.
Statistics

What a beautiful selection of posts and topics this week on the distilled! Congratulations to everyone featured!
Special congrats to @svemirac and Sammi (@samminator)! Sammi your post is awesome ! I kind of “predicted” it would be one of the handpicked ones! 😉
Wonderful work @steemstem & @lemouth. As always! ❤️
I was really happy to see many more posts this week, compared with the last week (we have almost a factor of 2 here). I hope things will continue moving on in this direction!
And thanks for your constant weekly posts, that are all great and of a distilled-caliber (I however can't feature them every week ;) ).
Thanks a lot dear Abbey. It has always been an honour to be part of SteemSTEM family
Yeyyy! I made it again to the distilled. My village people must hear about this. They'll be so proud.
I'm grateful to this wonderful family.
Big congrats to all those that got voted and featured too.
Nice job @lemouth
Congrats and thanks to you for your nice post! I hope you will continue on this trend in the following weeks :)
What a list. So honored to be on it. Only two articles waiting---and I'm looking forward to them. @svemirac (judging by the summary) will add to my growing understanding of the search for dark matter (thank you, @lemouth). And @spectrumecons: your conversational approach (just listened to part of the tape) makes economic theory accessible--having some thoughts about negative externality already.
Happy to see @samminator's blog highlighted. Such important issues raised in there, not only about AI, but about the relationship between science and society.
This is what SteemSTEM Distilled does, for me, anyway. It helps me take stock of all the good stuff that has appeared on the platform in the past week. Invariably I fill in the gaps and get smarter :) Thanks, @lemouth.
Thanks for passing by and dropping such a nice comment! If I may comment it: the post from @svemirac does not address dark matter but black holes instead. There are ways to unify the two concepts (I actually wrote about it in the past) but in general, these are very different beasts :)
Have a nice day @agmoore2!
I haven't read the piece yet, but will be alert to the distinction. Thank you!
