Hello everyone!
As you might have noticed, I like to promote steemSTEM at the end of most of my posts. It's a community of scientists on Steemit (STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Math)
But even with the help of @steemstem, it can be hard to get good exposure, especially with so much junk flooding #science.
To give scientists around here a chance to reach more people, I'm doing a contest!
Topic:
Describe a day in your (STEM related) profession, maybe include pictures. Make it as interesting and easy to understand as possible and not too long. An example for how it might look can be found in one of my earliest posts. Please don't just copy it though.
The rewards are:
1st place: 50 SBD + 325 Steempower delegation
2nd place: 30 SBD + 325 Steempower delegation
3rd place: 20 SBD + 325 Steempower delegation
The delegation of Steem will be for one week and is supplied by @minnowbooster!
Rules:
-
Please tag your entry with #suesas-sciencechallenge so that I can easily find it.
- Tagging it science too would be appreciated.
-
You have time to post your entry until July 22, 23:59 CET.
- I will hand select the three winners with respect to how engaging their entry is for readers not from their field.
- Post rewards are not factored in, so try to make a good post and don't worry about advertising it to random people.
- Remember to tag your sources if you use pictures that aren't yours! Plagiarism immediately disqualifies you.
- The winners will be announced July 23.
If you have any more questions, leave me a comment!
Good luck!

Hi @suesa ! I like the idea, but sadly I am not STEMmy enough to qualify for the competition, though I do have an interest in science and would like to better connect with the STEM community on here, and perhaps just listen in on the ideas and chime in when possible. That said, I wrote something to this effect yesterday, but I was wondering if you might be able to help me since you seem pretty well established on here and seem to know where things are and who might already be active in these fields. So, perhaps you could give a quick glance at my article from yesterday, the main thing I would like to ask is how to engage in such conversations with the STEM community, without using the wrong venues or tags. There must be people or groups who are keen to participate in discussion amongst their peers and to explain the amazing things from the STEM community to the rest of us Steemians without too much knowledge. I'm new so, sorry to crash your feed, but perhaps others are wondering the same things as me and you can help us all out. Here is the article I mentioned. Cheers @ecoknowme

Hey @suesa, thanks a lot for running this challenge! Steemit can certainly do with a much needed boost of (real) Science content. Hopefully this will motivate some of us to write about science more often.
Here is my entry:
https://steemit.com/science/@irime/mice-fluorescent-cells-and-my-molecular-quest-to-fight-cancer-a-day-in-the-life-of-a-rocker-scientist
Right now there are not many entries published, so I hope other people get on board! Still a few days to go. Cheers!
