SteemSTEM Distilled #59
Welcome to the 59th issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a bi-weekly curation effort by the members of the @steemstem team.
SteemSTEM aims to make Steem a better place for STEM, a task which we believe crucial for the long-term development of the blockchain. Our goals consist in invigorating and inspiring the minds of a community of STEM aficionados on Steem, targeting on the long-term the upgrade of SteemSTEM as a real platform for science communication. In the meantime, this goes through the support of quality, interesting and cutting-edge STEM content.
For more details, a recent update on the SteemSTEM project is available here. If you want to discuss with us, please do not hesitate to join the steemSTEM discord server.
Our team scours the platform for original and quality content.
In order to support the best STEM content on Steem, our team scours the blockchain and read more than a couple of thousands of STEM-related posts per week. We hence support about 200 of these posts, and present in this distilled our top 6 handpicked choices for the last Monday-Wednesday period.
Monday
EGYPTOLOGY: Science in Ancient Egypt, Part #3
Egyptology by @laylahsophia! An amazing series of the #steemstem tag as most will agree!This episode is going through the making of pottery, glass and faience in Ancient Egypt. You will surely love reading and learn a lot from it!
The Amateur Mycologist - Puerto Varas - Part 1
And from the past to the present, @dber has got us another excellent naturalist post from his visit to Puerto Varas. Follow the journey, pick up new knowledge and enjoy the original photos!
Tuesday
Magnetosome medicine: Using magnet-sensing bacteria to treat disease
Leaving nature to meet medicine and a wonderful post by @tking77798 on an evolutionary technique that uses magnetosomes in the fight against bacteria. Read it for all the interesting details!
Do robots really have emotions ?
Is there a chance that a new field of AI psychology will rise sooner or later? Do robots have feelings? What does @sarrie say in that interesting post? Go on, click on the link and see for yourself!
Wednesday
IS A HUMAN EMBRYO A PARASITE? - A debatable question
Babies are cute, babies are sweet, but is a fetus regarded as a cute little resident inside the woman's body? Does her immune system recognise it as a guest or a parasite? @cyprianj has got us covered and wrote a fantastic post about it.
And some cool astronomy for the end, @star-vc wrote a beautiful post explaining how the "hungry" Black Widow pulsar is eating its partner little by little. A horror story set in the center of the Milky Way is waiting for you to read it!
For some time, the editorial team behind this distilled series is made of a one-woman-team, @ruth-girl, and she chooses her favorite posts (potentially discussing with other curators and/or the management). Posts written by the SteemSTEM team are excluded from the nomination process.
Please do not be discouraged if you did not make it on this issue. We are picking up in total 14 posts a week out of more than 200. The chances are thus low ;) In the meantime, you may wish to check these guidelines for extra tips on how your writing could be more effective.

@adetola, @agbona, @alexs1320, @anaestrada12, @chloroform, @clement.poiret, @conficker, @dber, @effofex, @egotheist, @gentleshaid, @greenrun, @irelandscape, @laylahsophia, @lemouth, @mathowl, @michaelwrites, @mobbs, @mountainwashere, @mrbreeziewrites, @olajidekehinde, @procrastilearner, @rharphelle, @ruth-girl, @samminator, @sco
