Here is my first attempt to take part in an initiative suggested by . The idea is simply to feature one of your followers and write a bit about them. I will try to start doing this semi-regularly, each time for a different follower. I was reminded of this initiative in a recent post by
. Thanks to both for keeping this alive!
Let’s Talk About 
is one of the younger steemians I have talked with and was one of my earliest followers (number 26, I checked!). He certainly was an early positive force in my posting. However, his path on steemit has not been without its bumps. In his early days
was a fairly frequent poster focusing on a variety of science and politics topics. Yet he ran into some troubles when posting about physics, and was criticized for not researching enough into the science of his more advanced physics posts.
didn’t react by getting angry or lashing out, no he stepped up his game and contacted
(a verified particle physicist and former researcher at CERN) and myself for advice on how to improve the quality of his postings. He then put the advice to good use and has gone to seek out primary research articles for better information in his posts and incorporated suggestions on organization, citations, and writing style of his posts. He has put in an inspiring amount of extra work to be able to provide the steemit community with blogs they can both enjoy and learn from.
Since then
has put together a series of impressive blogs discussing various aspects of space:
The Life of Our Sun: a New Red Giant and the Death of Our Planet
Dark Matter: The Hidden Mass of the Universe
The Hot Jupiters of Other Worlds: Part One
In the past he had also been working on a very nice series describing some of the basics of physics:
Learning one dimensional motion using graphs
learning more one dimensional physics using some graphs
Learning kinematics and 2D physics
Learning energy and impulse in 2D
Power and electricity
Field forces: Gravity and Electromagnetism
has shown a great interest for science and a willingness to reach out to others for help. I feel he is an example of how promising the future of posting on steemit will be and is proof that being social and taking advantage of the opportunities our community possesses can lead to some great results.
I hope you will consider taking a look at his posts and give him a follow. If he keeps working as hard in the future as he has been, we will all be in store for some really great content!
Please consider helping some of your followers get more exposure, the more we all get to know one another the more chance great content will have to rise to the top of the trending pages!
I will be donating all steem and SBD proceeds generated from this post to
in the form of steempower, as an encouragement to keep working hard and to keep trying to make the content that will help steemit grow and succeed.
If you like my work, please consider giving me a follow: . I am a PhD holding biochemist with a love for science. My science blog posts cover a range of topics in the biology/chemistry fields.
Thank you for your support of my work!
