Welcome to the 25th issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a bi-weekly 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, a recent update on the steemSTEM can be found here, and a not so recent one there. Moreover, if you ask yourself about what it means to be part of steemSTEM, please check here.
Our team scours the platform for original and quality content.
After working through thousands (literally!) of STEM-related posts and upvoting more than 150 that we deemed to be worthy, we proudly present you our top 6 handpicked choices for this Monday-Wednesday period.
Monday
Amazing creatures #4, Dragonflies. (You would not expect it.)
Dragonflies, those amazing flying insects are featured in @josevbc's post. The legends, the biology, the weird facts about their nature even the meaning their symbol bears are here.
GLUTEN: FRIEND OR FOE? THE CURRENT UNDERSTANDING.
Nowadays there is so much fuss about gluten and gluten-free products. What evils does it bring? How can you avoid them? Read @nedspeaks' post to learn more.
Tuesday
GANDHI'S ROLE IN ANGLO BOER WAR, THE INDIAN AMBULANCE CORPS
A well-written history post by @highonthehog on Gandhi's part in the Anglo-Boer War. How an Indian man went to South Africa, was discriminated against owing to his color and cultural background and made it to become an influential political figure?
Are all sugars equal? A toxicity assessment of sugar
How many types of sugar are there? What does each one do to your body? How can their metabolism become harmful? @altherion explains all that very well in his post.
Wednesday
GMO Plants – What are they?
Some people have linked the term GMO food with harmful genetic mutations. But have you looked further into the matter? @jepper takes us on a tour in the world of GMO plants. Read on and then you can form your judgement.
What May Happen to The Earth When The Sun Dies
Stars are born and die just like every living creature in the universe. Are you curious to learn what will the fate of our star, the Sun, be? Follow @agbona in an extended post to find out more.
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 mid-week's editorial team was comprised of @ruth-girl.
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 :)
All curation rewards earned will be used to fund @steemstem project functioning and activities.
See you all next Monday!

excuse me senior !!!
upvote newpot and follow me
No spamming por favor! :)
Hello, I would like to inform you that asking for upvotes and spamming your own articles is frowned upon by others, and will not get you positive results. Discuss the topic at hand appropriately and you will gain followers and upvotes over time. If I see improvement in your commenting behavior I would be more than happy to add you to my daily UBI project, where you will receive an upvote from me every day, as long as you do not spam. Thank you.
Also, in regards to the steemstem list, I think that some nations... won't name any, hehe, should stop subsidizing the production of fructose for the benefit of society as opposed to a few producers and conglomerates.
I am sorry senior
Great work! Congrats to all!👏✨😊
good job , keep on going with this
congrats to the picked post writters
It is a beautiful collection. I like @agbona's on what could happen when our Sun dies. My father used to tell me about those things when I was between eight and ten. He would always end it with, 'Don't worry. We won't be here when it happens.' He never bothered to mention where we would be, though.
Hey @churchboy, I appreciate the feedback. Sequel to the conversation with your dad, am afraid humanity my seize to exist on earth, due to the extreme changes that our solar system will experience due to the death of the Sun.
Humanity's survival will largely depend on our ability to relocate to other planets that can support life outside the Milky Way.
It's a tough challenge, but it's my believe that man will survive.
Thank you for replying. Well, I hope we do.
Thank you guys. I'm glad my posts about South Africa are still in fashion ;). Congratulations to ALL the authors .
🍈 impressed & ashtonishing!
Distilled...water my fellow steemians...the virtues of the body it does wonders for.
Great post, excellent authors.
Keep steeming the pure distaliation of your hearts.

Theposts chosen are really intellectual, they truly added to my knowledge, Kudos @steemstem, science rocks
The article by @highonthehog was really interesting to read. In-fact it was something i needed to read. I am just half finished with the article. Just came here to write this message. I am going back to finishing the post.
Congrats, guys :)
This is of no doubt an excellent choice.
congrats to the featured authors especially @gbonna, for the wonderful article "What May Happen to The Earth When The Sun Dies". But the summary of it all is that if our sun dies, the earth will completely freeze over, and life will come to an end
Absolutely!
Life on earth will end, and life in other planets in our solar system will be extremely difficult due to the absence of the Sun.
The task for humanity is to locate a planet outside the Milky Way that can support life.
Wow, thank you for sharing my article, I am honored! :)
And congrats to all the others as well!
This is the first time I hear about steemstem. Looks like a great initiative to me! Directly encouraging ppl to write great and Bette in-depth content! Awesome, credits also to the curators involved!

Good job, and still waiting to be noticed with my math based posts ;)
I love steemit....... steemit is the best of all other social media...I like it....
Congratulations to all the authors! I just joined Steemit last week and I am still a minnow learning how to swim. I am seeing examples of good and interesting posts that I hope to emulate. I welcome constructive criticism from anyone who reads my posts or follows my "Unpublished Data" blog while I learn to create nicely written and formatted posts. I also welcome any suggestions on how to gain a following.
Thanks!
