Welcome to the 51st issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a bi-weekly 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 6 handpicked choices for this Monday-Wednesday period.
Monday

Breathing In Someone Else's Farts And Other Downsides Of Deep Space Travel
Deep space travel: What would it be like to stay locked up in a place where you're bombarded with radiation and forced to drink your filtered urine? It sounds appealing, doesn't it? So, when are you booking a ticket to Mars? And don't forget to read @procrastilearner's post! It has a lot more fun sides of space travel to share.
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 mid-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 :)
During the last two weeks, steemstem supported with more than a (possibly split) full vote the following authors:
@agbona, @alexaivytorres, @alexdory, @astrophoto.kevin, @carloserp-2000, @conficker, @dber, @dedicatedguy, @duke77, @elvigia, @fancybrothers, @funmiakinpelu, @gentleshaid, @greenrun, @henrychidiebere, @joelagbo, @josedelacruz, @kingabesh, @lefactuoscope, @lemouth, @mobbs, @mountainwashere, @pangoli, @procrastilearner, @ruth-girl, @samminator, @star-vc, @terrylovejoy, @whentone, @whileponderin, @zest
We are expecting them to strongly engage the community in return :)
All curation rewards earned will be used to fund @steemstem project functioning and activities.
See you all next Monday!
Congratulations to everyone! All authors, and all curators ;)
Well done! Well done! Keep the good posts coming, authors!! :D
Congrats to all the selected authors! Keep up the great work :)
Excellent work authors, it's always good to see what's up in the latest distilled. Missed a few good posts in the past few days, so will have to go and catch up with them!
Of course not just good work authors, but it's worth noting the amount of community effort that has to go into making this successful.
In Greece we say a swallow can't bring spring on its own, it is always the team that works miracles! :)
That is a nice acknowledgement list ! Thanks! :)
The work is hard, but sometimes the curators make it appear easy. Good job to the team and awesome job done by the contributors.
We make it seem easy because we have super powers, remember? :P
How can I forget? :)
Of course I remember. The super power obtained from steem power :D
Thank you for featuring my post the other day.. It's an honour.
Hehe! May the steem power be with us! :P
It was a pleasure!!
The
forcesteem power is certainly with us. Haha.I think we may have some powers. How super depends on who's asking. Lol.
Congratulations to everyone involved!
Keep up the awesome work!

@eurogee
Thanks a lot @eurogee! :D
Good:
Nice:
i think there is need to curate and make required suggestions on every post bearing steemstem tag to benefit everybody. Otherwise people keep posting without being benefitted as they don't kmow the reason for their post being not considerd for nomination/supportThis is why we keep inviting people on our discord server over and over again. Mentors are there to guide and answer questions. We cannot go through each and every post under the tag.
It does not sound good to seek reason for post not being supported- equivalent to begging for upvote.
Vote begging is different from asking for help. That's why I suggest talking to the members in the chat :)
Remember that we are spending hours on this project every week. And by hours, I mean more than 30-40 hours a week easily for some of us. We do our best, but we do it for free, and we are humans.
I won't accept that anyone asks us to work more... Yes, at that level, yes this may be considered as a work! If you are not upvoted, there is maybe a reason, and the mentors are there to help.
You are doing a very hardwork @steemstem. Also it is very noble that you are working to promote and reward others.
Thanks a lot! :D
chicos su aporte a la comunidad es realmente brillante.
Gracias! ;)
Congrats to all. As always, distilled is providing me with great excuses to avoid other things.
Is someone procrastinating or is it just my idea? :P
Congratulations to all the authors
At the end everyone wins because we are a community... That is if am regarded as part because am still new
@ruth-girl 👍👍
I like this line: "everyone wins because we are a community" :)
I am glad you liked it @ruth-girl
Nice week again. I like the fact that this week featured new faces. That's wonderful.. If you got featured this week, congrats...
Long live, steemstem!
We need to promote some "new blood" in here :)
:)
Science, technology and mathematics are my favorite subjects. When I joined steemit, I saw many posts on cryptocurrencies and photography but fewer on science and technology. When I came to know about @steemstem, I didn't wasted a single second to follow it. I am glad to see so many excellent posts on my favorite subjects. Thank you @steemstep for this great initiative.
Thank you! It's nice to hear that you find value in this community! :D
I do congratulate all authors and steemSTEM guys(curators and management) in mind. Whenever I think I am gonna congratulate in comments I see tonnes of other comments. So maybe mine will be a noise here. But let this time I praise all the authors, curators and especially editor @ruth-girl for all the hard work.
Steemstem got the best authors on steemit and it's a rare privilege to be part of the community. I will surely works towards this hall of fame
