Welcome to the 36th 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.
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 8 handpicked choices for this Thursday-Sunday period.
Thursday

DTube #6: Why do things have COLOUR?
Do you know why objects have colors? Do you know why Steemit's logo looks green? And why cherries look red? If you don't or if you just need to freshen up your knowledge take a look at this video-post from @mystifact.
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.
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.
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 discord server or to follow our curation trail (just ask us for more information on the chat for details).
From March 18 to 25, we rewarded 170 different authors who have written a total of 253 different articles. The authors who received both a @steemstem and a @curie vote that week are:

Congratulations to everyone who got curated, keep up the good work. let's make the community better by engaging with one another through commenting and upvoting.

Thank you for the selection of posts. I missed the article about the meat vs plants and I read it now. It's great! Comprehensive, with real references, good style...
That is one of the reasons behind the distilled thing: guaranteeing exposure to 14 good posts a week :)
Good work again to all our authors, that is a great range of interesting articles to read.
On top of this, a big thank you to all the curators who spend countless hours of their own time checking and curating posts. Clearly, they really do have superpowers!
We all work hard to help this community work!
But all the effort is compensated when you see a warm and supporting atmosphere among the members. That's what we're trying to establish! "Propagate" the spirit of excitement that people have visiting the distilled posts in your posts as well!
good writers don't write but create foods for the mind and greatest of all history
Oh! That was beautiful!
