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.

During the Society for Science Middle School Research Teachers Conference, one teacher provided insight to attendees on how to inspire empathy and creativity through science research.
