in #steemstem5 years ago

HF21 made this distilled late... After a succesful upgrade of our witness (see @stem.witness), here we are for a 107th edition of our distilled series. Some of these posts will be soon featured on our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Reddit accounts.

In the meantime, please contact us either on the SteemSTEM discord server or on our Steem Chat channel.

Our top choices



Changing the narrative – how to talk about climate change

@egotheist, one of the oldest SteemSTEM members still around, surprized us in coming back last week. He introduced a nice debate about climate change and how the way one talks about it could make a difference. With this illustration, he puts forward some great information about decision making and how it is influenced by risk. For more information on this very important topic, do not hesitate to have a look to his post.


The Social Birds & the Bees: The socialization of gender, a toy store ethnography

The gender issues is a real issue in the society of today. @alchemage introduces how our environment plays an important role with this respect, and addresses in particular how marketing, the way the parents treat their children relatively to their genders and more influence the outcome. if you feel so, please pass by and contribute to the debate.

Sort:  

There may be a storm bearing down on the Caribbean, and a Steemit Hardfork that has many of us bewilered, but #Distilled is out!

Can't tell you how reassuring this consistency is. SteemSTEM feels like a safe port in a rocky sea. Feels a little like home:)

Thanks for including my article, and for the work you do to highlight others and keep the SteemSTEM ship afloat.

Greetings @steemstem

Thank you for the support given to our publications.
