Founded in 2018, and based in Atlanta, The Xylom seeks to understand three questions:
1. ​”How can science look more like us?”
2. ​”How are scientists shaped by what happens outside of the lab?”
3. ​”How do people respond to the changing world through science?”

We do so through an award-winning collection of original personal essays, longform science features, and resources for early-career science professionals. We also send out a twice-monthly newsletter curating the best science stories in the American South and beyond. Our writers have gone on to win awards such as the National Academies Eric and Wendy Schmidt Awards for Excellence in Science Communications,  AAAS Mass Media Fellowships, and the National Association of Science Writers Diversity Reporting Grant.

 

Starting today, we’re participating in NewsMatch, a national matching-gift campaign that drives donations to nonprofit newsrooms. And, readers like you can play a big role in helping us continue to be the go-to source for the news you need. Through Dec. 31st, NewsMatch and The Miami Foundation will match your new monthly donation 24x (or triple your one-time donation), up to $1,000. 

Our reporters work tirelessly to produce journalism you can trust. Can we count on you, too?

The Xylom is part of the Institute for Nonprofit News Network, Covering Climate Now, and Local Independent Online News (LION) Publishers.
