This year was special, as we celebrated the centennial of Society for Science. In our first 100 years, the Society launched a magazine, advised government agencies, created and grew three world-class STEM competitions and developed a suite of outreach programs focused on ensuring that every young person with an interest in STEM has an opportunity to pursue that passion. Learn more in our welcome letter, from Maya Ajmera, President and CEO of the Society for Science and Publisher of Science News, and Mary Sue Coleman, Chair of the Society’s Board of Trustees.

Connecting Our Alumni
Though we couldn’t be together in person in 2021, alumni of the Society’s three competitions – Regeneron Science Talent Search, Regeneron ISEF and Broadcom MASTERS – still found ways to connect. The Society brought together alumni virtually from around the world for conversations on topics that ranged from data science to aerospace. Alumni also participated in multiple panel discussions during Regeneron ISEF and Regeneron STS, sharing wisdom with the newest members of the alumni community.
