Science News in High Schools is now Science News Learning. Schools will continue to receive 10 copies of Science News about every two weeks, putting students at the center of their learning journey.

In need of some new books to add to your summer reading list? Check out these recommendations from our Society for Science Alumni.

Society for Science announced the 45 community-based STEM organizations receiving $176K in STEM Action Grants. Grant funds will be used to develop inclusive STEM learning opportunities for groups historically underrepresented in STEM fields.

Science News for Students rebrands as Science News Explores, a new print magazine for children ages 9 and up and their families, teachers and communities.

Society for Science is proud to support the 2022 STEM Action Grantees. A total of $176,000 was awarded to the following 45 organizations, representing 22 states.

One middle school student received the Lemelson Early Inventor prize for his work creating a headband that alerts people when someone falls. The band also provides protection to a person’s head when they fall. The student was inspired to create this invention by his grandmother, who had Parkinson’s Disease.

Quality science communication skills are vital for young scientists and established researchers alike. Why is that? For one, during a worldwide pandemic, climate catastrophes and so many other scientific challenges in our midst, it has become very clear that combatting scientific misinformation and disinformation is a top priority. One key way to overcome this challenge is through good science communication skills. It is very important that science is explained in a way that anybody, from any audience and background can understand it — whether it be a student, a non-scientist or an established researcher in a different field. If developed early on, students will get better at translating their research and discoveries and recognizing the importance of these skills, which will hopefully be carried into their future careers as researchers.
