Welcome to the 38th issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a curation effort by the members of the 
Hive account@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 8 handpicked choices for this Thursday-Sunday period.
Thursday
“Lab on a Chip” is a term used for paper-based analytical devices and I suppose you're smart enough to understand why. In this wonderful post 
Hive account@tking77798 discussed a study on the detection of antimicrobial resistant bacteria. Read on to see what the results were.
A post by 
Hive account@josalarcon2 that discusses the fifth state of matter, the Bose-Einstein Condensate. Read it to have a taste of what this is.
Friday
In this post 
Hive account@zija2022 discusses a legendary figure that has been the inspiration for loads of films and books to date. Read it if you want to learn more about famous King Arthur of Camelot.
How can birds navigate and never get lost? Is there a "compass" hiding in the proteins of a bird's eyes? Read what 
Hive account@valth has brought us in this post to find out.
Saturday
Melcin Calvin worked on the carbon reactions of photosynthesis. This post from 
Hive account@davidrhodes124 discusses the Calvin cycle, the process that plants follow to get carbon from CO2.
A new series from 
Hive account@soulesque just got its second episode out. This one talks about... fungi!
Sunday
An apple a day keeps the doctor away, right? Well, 
Hive account@lesshorrible has brought us a post on the fruit that put Snowhite to sleep. Read on to see how you can benefit from both eating and growing apples.
Are you interested in astrophotography? 
Hive account@terrylovejoy has been writing a series on his passion. Read the new episode to learn all you need about Deep Sky astrophotography that deals with star clusters, nebula and galaxies.
A few words about the nomination process
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 week's editorial team was comprised of 
Hive account@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 :) In the meantime, you may wish to check these guidelines for extra tips on how your writing can be more effective.
Authors That Received a Curie Upvote by the SteemSTEM Team
In the same spirit of being transparent about our actions that are now supported by 
Hive account@curie, we will release every week a list of authors who have caught the attention of the Hive account@steemstem curation team.
If you want to discuss this with us, please do not hesitate to join the steemSTEM discord server or to follow our curation trail (just ask us for more information on the chat for details).
From March 25 to April 1, we rewarded 158 different authors who have written a total of 222 different articles. The authors who received both a Hive account@steemstem and a Hive account@curie vote that week are:
