April 2024: Society for Science is pleased to announce that Lester Mackey and Naomi Shah have joined the Society’s National Leadership Council (NLC). Formed in 2018, the NLC comprises alumni from the Society’s three science competitions: the Science Talent Search, the International Science and Engineering Fair and its middle school science research competitions.

On April 8, 2024 people in Canada, Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, along with small parts of Tennessee and Michigan will experience a total solar eclipse. This impressive phenomenon occurs when the moon completely blocks the sun, darkening the sky for several minutes.
Science News, Science News Explores and Science News Learning have all developed materials aimed at educating the public on how to safely view the eclipse.

Yesterday afternoon, on March 10, the nation’s top 40 young scientists climbed to the fifth floor of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library in Washington D.C. to showcase their independent research projects and share their STEM passions with the public. This was an opportunity for the Regeneron Science Talent Search finalists to talk about what they know best: their own research.
