<b>Welcome to the 53<sup>rd</sup> issue of SteemSTEM Distilled, a bi-weekly curation effort by the members of the @steemstem team.</b> 

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.

<b>For more details, a recent update on the steemSTEM can be found [**here**](https://steemit.com/steemstem/@steemstem/steemstem-winter-2017-2018-project-update), and a not so recent one [**there**](https://steemit.com/science/@steemstem/an-update-on-the-steemstem-project). Moreover, if you ask yourself about what it means to be part of steemSTEM, please check [**here**](https://steemit.com/steemstem/@steemstem/being-a-member-of-the-steemstem-community).</b>

<b><center>A few words about the nomination process</center></b>
___

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 mid-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 :)
