List of Valuable And Interesting Science-Related Information (SteemSTEM)
<b> This is a compilation of some of science related materials I have collected within last few years. It touches different fields of science. The second section also contains a lot of pseudoscience criticism.
I have not included the links to YouTube videos, because it would mess up the post. Just google this titles up in YouTube or go directly to <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o6PoR9JgtTWLAD8hVmv1CJKpEWkcY_5GJ6ZqgCxcBvA/edit">Google Document</a> to see the links.
This document is also attached to <a href="https://steemit.com/@steemstem">SteemSTEM</a> chat channel.</b>
