According to the American Bird Conservancy, the best estimates of the number of birds killed by wind turbines in the U.S. each year are based on three significant studies published in 2013 and 2014. Because each study was unique in its methods, estimated results vary from an average of 234,000 to 573,000 bird deaths per year. These bird deaths are caused by collisions with wind turbines and other structures such as power lines as well as by the disturbance and displacement of birds when wind facilities are built.

For the first time in ISEFs history due to the Covid-19 pandemic the Society for Science honored the more than 1,300 finalists of the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) 2020 by coming together virtually to celebrate science.

Congratulations to the 2020 Regeneron STS Winners!

The 2021 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair was held virtually due to Covid-19 restrictions. Links to all of the video sessions and ceremonies.

Society for Science and Broadcom Foundation are proud to announce the 30 finalists in the 2020 Broadcom MASTERS® — the nation’s premier STEM competition for middle school students. The finalists competed in the first ever Virtual Broadcom MASTERS from October 16-21, participated in team challenges in addition to being judged on their science research projects.

Society for Science is pleased to present our 2020 Annual Report, Defending Science, which shares the extraordinary work we accomplished during a worldwide pandemic. In this report, we detail a year like no other. From equipping our readers with accurate information about the virus, to providing educators with resources to excite STEM students, to encouraging young people to conduct scientific research, our team engaged the wider public during a time when science could not have been more important.
