We present today our **top two handpicked post choices** of last week, together with some statistics given at the end of this post. The selection process has been made by <b><a href="https://www.steemstem.io/#!/@lemouth">@lemouth</a></b> (as usual, volunteers to help writing this post are most welcome).<br>

Please do not be discouraged if you did not make it on this issue. The chances to be picked are low. In the meantime, you may wish to check [**these guidelines**](https://steemit.com/steemstem/@steemstem/helpful-guidelines-for-crafting-steemstem-content) for extra tips on how your writing could be more effective (or ask for a mentor on [**Discord**](https://discord.gg/9c7pKVD)).

It has been a while. Really a while. But <b><a href="https://www.steemstem.io/#!/@zen-art">@zen-art</a></b> is today back and wrote a very nice post on oxytocin. She is bringing in a few scientific studies who tried to exhibit its effects. Therefore, if you want to know more about this hormon could affect our lives, follow the above link!<br>

In a series of two posts, <b><a href="https://www.steemstem.io/#!/@apsu">@apsu</a></b> enaged the SteemSTEM community (and anyone on Steem) by proposing himself to answer any question about nuclear energy. In the case you would have no specific question about it, feel free to have a look to the posts as you may learn more about the novelties concerning the waste, fusion and even more.

SteemSTEM offers support to anyone using our app, <b><a href="https://www.steemstem.io">steemstem.io</a></b>. We recall that:
<ul>
 <li>Posting an article through the app automatically yields a 5% stronger upvote at curation time.</li>
 <li>Posting a reply to an article (or to another reply) from the app can sometimes yield some SteemSTEM support.</li>
 <li> Setting <b><a href="https://www.steemstem.io/#!/@steemstem">@steemstem</a></b> as a beneficiary to the post automatically yields a stronger upvote (up to 5%).</li>
</ul>

Last week, the SteemSTEM curator teams have supported <b> 70 posts</b> written by <b>49 authors</b>.  28  of these posts have been posted through the app (and got a 5% stronger upvote). Among these 70 posts, we find:

<li> 27 small upvotes (less than 20%)</li>
<li> 18 medium upvotes (in the 20%-50% range)</li>
<li> 25 large upvotes (larger than 50%)</li>
</ul>
