Since your usual one-man distilled team is tied to a chair, hanging off the roof of some evil genius' penthouse balcony, this week's 116th distilled will be authored by me (Could be anyone).
For those who do not know what SteemSTEM is, please take a look [here](https://www.steemstem.io/#!/faq) or come say hi on [Discord](https://discord.gg/9c7pKVD) or in the Steem Chat.

---Climate Predictions Are Useless – So What?
Here, @egotheist discusses the recent distrust of climate science as a result of inaccurate p predictions - and why that is irrelevant. Using examples of complex systems, he makes the argument that predictions - right or wrong - have an extremely vital place in our consciousness and they should *not* be dismissed. Read on to find out why! Organography and Plant Histology of Hydrocotyle umbellata (Araliaceae)
@lupafilotaxia takes a deep look into the *water coin*, a plant often used medicinally around the world which has the added benefit of functioning as a bioindicator of pollutants. How? Find out by clicking the link! You'll be introduced to an intimate introduction to this powerfully invasive and prolific species, getting a *microscopic* window into the plant's very soul.
