    Thank you @markrmorrisjr! "Us" would be the ones that like to promote science in steemit.

      Cool, just wondered if this was an individual project or some sort of collective. Steem on!

        Thanks! The fact of having a separate PW for posting content allows to scale the number of contributors. We also have this new "resteem" feature that allows to share content in a more efficient way.

        We are still at an early stage of steemit, so we'll see how it evolves.

        Cheers!
