SteemSTEM Distilled #27

in #steemstem7 years ago

Welcome to the 27th 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


Why People Were Skinnier 40 Years Ago, Part 2 (Video)

This is the second part of @exercisinghealth's amazing video series, explaining us why people were skinnier 40 years. He has done a really good job both visually and in delivering the actual scientific facts!


Let’s talk about phobias


Phobias are intense, unjustified and extremely hard to control fears that people experience before a certain situation or circumstance. In his latest post from his phobia-related series, the @dedicatedguy gives us all the basics we need to know about them.


Tuesday


The Curious Case For Base 12 (Why Dozens Are Easier For Everyday Maths Than Tens)



Ever wondered why we count to 10 instead of 8, 9, 11 or12? Could there actually be a better counting system than the one we use today? @rocking-dave has the answer!


HARVESTING CLIENTS - Another practice peep



@erh.germany shares another very interesting case from her work, this time a young adult that she has been coaching up the last three months.





Wednesday


Evolution 101 #2 - Genotype, Phenotype, Genes, Alleles and Population Genetics Model


@scienceangel gives us a thorough introduction to the "language" of genetics and explains us what fancy words like genotype, phenotype, genes, alleles and population genetics model actually mean!



The Fuss about FIbonacci Sequence






You have probably heard at some point of your life somebody talking about the Fibonacci numbers and how cool they are. If you have no idea what's so fun about them then make sure to read this post by @singhbinod08 to learn more!




A few words about the nomination process


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 @trumpman.

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!

A Dream Come true. My parents are still not proud of me. #Asianthings.
Thank you @trumpman and also I'd like to thank all the @steemSTEM team. And also @zest, Thank you :)

YOU DOCTOR YET?!
-TALK TO ME WHEN YOU ARE DOCTOR! :D
Congratulations! :)

Thanks @svemirac.
Haha.
I'm what you call a failed child. Haha.
My parents wanted me to be a doctor, but I was never into it.
But for the sake of my parents, gave the exam , but never got accepted.(Guess who did not study)
They were pretty mad haha. But they dropped it after they realized nothing "good" was coming out of me and also because my brother decided to be one and is currently studying MBBS. So, one of us is going to be a doctor and the other a failed child ;) haha.
Now, in my final year of Engineering. Let's see what unfolds.

Thank you once again.

It is my absolute pleasure:)
Congratulations!!!!!

These are really educating posts
You are really doing a great job because check mating all these posts is not an easy task.

Great choice as all the articles are exceptional, great job done by the curation team. @trumpmann really have the perfect sight for this week steemstem distelled.

Really enjoyed reading that post on the Fibonacci sequence the most, as I had read it when it was just posted.

Thanks for all the other reading material, excellent list of quality articles!

Thanks for sharing.

Great reads, good job peeps!

really such a nice post keep it up best of luck for more posting .

Fibornacci-Implementation in Haskell

fib 0 = 0
fib 1 = 1
fib n = fib (n-1) + fib (n-2)

Great minds here.
I'm loving @steemstem already with its discipline and goal to reaching the academic desire of steemians. At least those who want to learn academically.
Nice

niece work bro

Great update, and while I enjoyed them all the, "The Curious Case For Base 12 (Why Dozens Are Easier For Everyday Maths Than Tens)" really hit home. I was research some of that when working on a recent post.
