SteemSTEM Distilled #90

Welcome to the 90^th issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a curation effort by the members of the Hive account@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 and the active development of our app, steemstem.io.

By the way, do not hesitate to set Hive account@steemstem as a beneficiary to your post and to use the steemstem.io app.

For more details, a recent update on the SteemSTEM project is available on the SteemSTEM blog. 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.

Monday - Wednesday

What If Every Single Superheroes In The DC Universe Were Characters Made Up By Bruce Wayne Superior Mind?

Are you really using only 10% of your brain?

One of the most famous scientific myths is brought under the microscope by Hive account@zen-art. Are we taking advantage only of the 1/10 of our full brain capacity? Can we get a "memory upgrade"? Well, Hive account@zen-art has written a great post to let us know us more about it!

The Horsehead Nebula | Walk For Science

An interesting "photoshooting" comes in the next post. Here Hive account@astrophoto.kevin presents us with some of his great photos of the Horsehead Nebula and tries to teach us some basics on this beautiful celestial object. You will surely love his shots, so don't miss his post!

A few words about the nomination process

This week's distilled highlights were selected by Hive account@ruth-girl. She has returned to save us from yet another week of the uncultured ramblings of Hive account@justtryme90. Bringing back her sharp, coherent, and kindhearted picks and description! Welcome back Ruth!
