SteemSTEM Distilled #112

in #steemstem5 years ago

Welcome to this delayed 112th distilled of the best content posted last week on SteemSTEM. Sorry for the delay, but the compilation of the SteemSTEM curation activities had to fight with 1000 pages of PhD theses in particle physics... It hence ended delayed...

For those who do not know what SteemSTEM is, please take a look here or pass by on Discord or on the Steem Chat.

Before moving on with the two best posts that have been selected by @lemouth (from all the posts found by our curators last week), here is the list of the most supported posts (of last week):

AuthorTitle
@artemislivesThe Preventative Medicine of Nadi Shodhana
@carloserp-2000    Differential Thermal Analysis
@abigail-dantesA Journey Through The History of Madness.
@lemouthSterile neutrinos as a path to dark matter
@agmooreAnother Kind of Moon Landing
@svemiracGravitational waves, black holes & star clusters
@mobbsThe History of Western Music: The Seikilos Epitaph


Interested in being part of that list? Please check these guidelines or ask for a mentor on Discord or on the Steem Chat.


Our top choices



The Black Swan and the Turkey

Believe it or not, but this post is not only about animals. @egotheist strikes hard and discusses the famous '97% scientific consensus' about anthropic global warming. He details where the number comes from and what lies behind it, scientifically speaking. Of course, this requires reading a bit about turkeys and swans as an appetiser.

The Preventive Medicine of Nadi Shodhana

Yoga can help to calm us, awakens us, relax and much more. @artemislives discusses Alternate Nostril Yoga Breathing, also known as Nadi Shodhana, and show how it could help us living better, backing up the claims with numerous recent scientific studies (it is SteemSTEM after all).


Statistics


SteemSTEM offers support to anyone using our app, steemstem.io. We recall that:

  • Posting an article through the app automatically yields a 5% stronger upvote at curation time.
  • Posting a reply to an article (or to another reply) from the app can sometimes yield some SteemSTEM support.
  • Setting @steemstem as a beneficiary to the post automatically yields a stronger upvote (up to 5%).

Last week, the SteemSTEM curator teams have supported 83 posts written by 49 authors. 21 of these posts have been posted through the app (and got a 5% stronger upvote). Among these 83 posts, we find:

Very grateful to have been supported by SteemSTEM this past week. As usual, Distilled has led me to fill in some reading gaps--posts I missed. The two featured were both delightful, and both authors are 'discoveries' for me.
Another great Distilled. Thank you!

And we are very happy to have you with us! Allowing our members to discover new authors is one of the purpose of this distilled series. It is nice to get feedbacks about used cases :)

By the way, you may have noticed the different check-boxes on steemstem.io: "top posts", "best posts" and "all posts". Ticking the "top posts" one allows to immediately get the above list of posts :).

Thank you! I do like to browse, though, as I would in a bookstore. The highlights in Distilled point out gems I might have missed...probably because of my random sense of order :))

Thank you for the mention and congratulations to all those people who were included in this distillate. SteemSTEM regains a lot of strength in the blockchain.

Yep, the slope is totally positive. Let's try to keep it like that :D

Very much appreciated this curation - thank you! Making the science accessible and relevant to an increasingly non-scientific general public is important stuff!
