SteemSTEM Distilled #83
Welcome to the 83rd issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a 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.
In order to support the best STEM content on Steem, our team scours the blockchain and read more than several hundreds of STEM-related posts per week. We hence support about 100 of these posts, and present in this distilled our top 6 handpicked choices for the last week.

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 6 posts a week out of more than 150-200. 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.
In the spirit of being transparent about our actions that are now supported by @utopian-io, @curie, our delegators, our trailers and our manual curator supporters, we release every week the list of authors who have caught the attention of the @steemstem curation team.
From November 11 to 18, we rewarded 76 different authors who have written a total of 1 different articles. The 51 authors who received votes from @steemstem, potentially with either @utopian-io, @curie or both, are:
@abdulmath, @abigail-dantes, @abumaryam, @adewumi, @agmoore, @alexaivytorres, @answerswithjoe, @chappertron, @cryptoitaly, @damzxyno, @discovery-it, @djredimi2, @drifter1, @elvigia, @emiliomoron, @eniolw, @erh.germany, @fancybrothers, @felixrodriguez, @fran.frey, @germanmontero, @hellfire-labs, @iptrucs, @iradyjr, @javier.dejuan, @jorgemora17, @josedelacruz, @lordneroo, @lupafilotaxia, @magicmonk, @marjanko, @masterwu, @maticpecovnik, @miroslavrc, @moncia90, @neurosurgery, @noobsin, @rbalzan79, @reconnectnature, @reinaseq, @rifkan, @samminator, @sardrt, @sargoon, @scienceblocks, @somebuttstuff, @soy-venezuelien, @svemirac, @tensor, @tomastonyperez, @tychoxi, @valth, @viannis, @wilmer14molina, @yhubi, @yreudy, @zen-art, @zoricatech

I'm happy that even with the plummeting STEEM/SBD price, steemSTEM still remains strong, as ever. Keep it up and I will support you as best as I could; well, if I'm not busy :P
We appreciate the great work you do!
I think someone is may be copypasting too much haha, this is the second time in a row that my name is mentioned at the end even though I didn't get an upvote :P
It is generated with a python script, and that potentially indicates there is a problem with it :/
