SteemSTEM Distilled #54

in #steemstem6 years ago (edited)

Welcome to the 54th issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a curation effort by the members of the @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


Philosophy of Science Part 2: Occam's Razor is Rusty




Our week begins with an excellent post by @mountainwashere, where we see him break down the Occam's Razor proposition (which supports that the simplest explanation should usually be the right one). Follow him as he tries to explain why when it comes to science, Occam's razor cannot always... shave.



Fooling around with Self Organizing Maps (SOM)


Self Organizing Maps are being discussed in this amazing post by @boyonpointe. Read on to see how complex data visualization is achieved through this method.


Friday


Round earth theory vs flat earth theory




Read a very interesting post by @tobixen on the Flat Earth Paradigm. Follow him as he tries to explain what flat-earthers support and how their arguments are "overthrown".




Ever wondered why and how diesel engines handle so much load? Lets see!



@rharphelle's wonderful post tries to teach us how and why diesel engines are much more durable when it comes to handling heavy loads.



Saturday


INTRODUCTION TO GEOLOGY - VOLCANOES & VOLCANIC PRODUCTS


Our engineer @lordneroo has been giving us excellent posts for a long time. This is another typical example of a well-written article that discusses volcanoes and their products. Don't miss it!


Psychopaths Can Save Humanity - An Introduction





Do you know @hugmug? Well, you should definitely check out this awesome psychology post on psychopaths and how we could (?) manipulate them into... saving humanity.




Sunday


The Effect Of Antibiotics In Dairy Animal's Meat To Human's Guts



A topic that concerns almost all of (unless you are a vegetarian), antibiotics in the industry of dairy animals and their effect on our health. Read this fantastic post by @chloroform to learn more about the possible dangers in our food.

Proteolytic Nanoparticle proposes a new Medical tool to function as Surgical Blade


A wonderful health post by @vinamra that discusses a breakthrough method combining controlled activated proteolytic enzymes and nanotechnology, in order to prevent unnecessary tissue damage during surgery.




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 @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.
