I agree. I had some original research that was lost and/or deleted but never published because it was an internal project commissioned by the NPS. Using Steemit I was able to resurrect the data from old backups and make it available to my colleagues and those who might need the data in the future. For most Steemit posts, I agree we have the obligation to present science to those who might not otherwise see it, and to present it in a way that will arouse interest in the subject material as well as the platform.
