SteemSTEM Distilled #3

[steemstem]

Welcome to the third issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a 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.

Our team scours the platform for original and quality content.After working through thousands (literally!) of STEM-related posts and upvoting more than 200 that we deemed to be worthy, we proudly present you our top 7 handpicked choices:

---

Monday - Simple Question #6 - Do we all feel Time the same way? Can we travel back in Time?

An excellent, in-depth post by @nitesh9 about time, time perception and time travelling. Definitely worth a read!

Tuesday - Childhood Diseases – On a Mission to Educate: Measles

Measles,or rubeola, is a highly contagious infection caused by the measles virus. In this post, @cabbagepatch summarizes all the basics you need to know about this viral infection, including symptoms, possible complications and available treatment options.

Wednesday - Scientific Breakthrough: Inherited Disease Successfully Removed From Human Embryo Via Base Editor

@mcfarhat reports how for the first time, researchers from Sun Yat-sen University in China have reversed an inherited disease (beta-thalassemia) from a human embryo using a revolutionary new technique!

Thursday - All Hail The Conquering King: The Unstoppable Earthworm

Worms can be found everywhere, fishermen use them for bait, children use them for fun (come on, we've all dismembered a poor worm once just because it looked disgustingly cool). In his post @mountaiwashere gives a short history catch-up of the earthworm and how it ended up being a threat to the ecosystem of North America.

Friday - Transhumanism: into the future by the razor's edge. Idea and prospects.

How many sci-fi movies have you watched on AI and human enhancement? I believe a lot. The idea of transhumanism, when man and machine combine and it's so hard to tell where man stops and machine starts, is so beautifully depicted in @kuku12170's post and will certainly put you in thoughts of how mankind's development could evolve in the distant future.

Saturday - Science experiments by students to create miniatures generate electric of bicycle dynamo

Can your bike produce electricity? Of course it can! In this wonderful post @cammelya briefly explains how bike dynamos work. Read that post and see photos of a great experiment that aims to show students (and us too) how a bike dynamo can produce electricity enough to light a bulb. I guess now you're getting ideas on how to cut down on electricity bills and keep fit at the same time :P

Sunday - Antsy thoughts: the curious world of ants

Ants are definitely one of the most fascinating creatures roaming our planet. Don't you agree? If not there is a good chance the latest post by @zycr22 will change your mind!

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 week's editorial team was comprised of @ruth-girl & @trumpman. A special mention goes to @locikll for helping with the markdown coding.

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 :) In the meantime, you may wish to check these guidelines for extra tips on how your writing can be more effective.

Authors That Received a Curie Upvote by the SteemSTEM Team

---

In the same spirit of being transparent about our actions that are now supported by @curie, we will release every week a list of authors who have caught the attention of the @steemstem curation team.

If you want to discuss this with us, please do not hesitate to join the steemSTEM channel on the Steemit chat or to follow our curation trail on Streemian. If you are not on Streemian, we have a plan B through a homemade voting bot. You can contact us on the chat in order to be added to its trail.

Congrats to everyone who got featured this week!

[nitesh9]

Really amazing to read so many awesome STEM related posts. And @curie is now collaborating with @steemstem, which is a great thing. It really motivates people to write more deeply researched posts.

Thanks to whole SteemSTEM team and Curie for supporting my post and posts of other great authors. :)

[lemouth]

You are welcome nitesh! Maybe will you make it to the list of featured posts on next week ^^

[nitesh9]

Thank you, will try for sure. :)

Hello STEM team, I'm new on this network but the real scientist in real-life. How does the "inscription" to the team look like and what are the rules/ standards for the posts? Recently I wrote successful post. Part II was also solid, but the others were not successful at all, besides the real sci. papers behind, references and everything like this one devoted to Wakefield's paper or the post about the air defense simulators. Sorry if I broke some written/ unwritten rules. It wasn't intentional. Keep STEMing!

[nitesh9]

You can connect with us on https://steemit.chat/channel/steemSTEM and clear your doubts.

[minnowsupport]

Congratulations! This post has been upvoted from the communal account, @minnowsupport, by justtryme90 from the Minnow Support Project. It's a witness project run by aggroed, ausbitbank, teamsteem, theprophet0, someguy123, neoxian, followbtcnews/crimsonclad, and netuoso. The goal is to help Steemit grow by supporting Minnows and creating a social network. Please find us in the Peace, Abundance, and Liberty Network (PALnet) Discord Channel. It's a completely public and open space to all members of the Steemit community who voluntarily choose to be there.

[mountainwashere]

Thanks for including me! Keep up the good work!
