Founded in 2018, and based in Atlanta, The Xylom is a non-profit, Gen-Z-run newsroom covering the communities influencing and being shaped by science. We are the only science news outlet run by and for the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community.

Our reporting revolves around 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.
