HERE AT THE XYLOM, WE GROW SCIENCE WITH WORDS.

Founded in 2018, and based in Atlanta,  The Xylom  is the only Asian American-run news outlet dedicated to science, climate, and environmental coverage. 
We seek to bring you clarity and complicate the narrative on three questions:
  1. ​"How can science look more like us?"
  2. "How are scientists shaped by what happens outside of the lab?"
  3. "How do people respond to the changing world through science?"
We do so by pairing an award-winning collection of essays with multilingual, multimedia, and culturally competent reporting that is accountability-, solutions-, and data-driven. 
You might've heard of us when:
  • Our scrutiny into the Office of  Mayor Andre Dickens' numerous baseless claims about the "environmental stewardship" of "Cop City"  led to the deletion of a press release and won us an Atlanta Press Club Award,
  • We created the  first MARTA weekend service dashboard  which  revealed the full extent  of Atlanta's transit crisis;
  • We report on the  devastating ecological and economic impacts of the Mumbai Coastal Road  as it approaches completion and  Maharashtra's first-in-the-nation unproven plan  to sterilize leopards, the first foreign news outlet to do so.
Here's what our readers say about us:
A lot of you have asked me how I’ve been able to learn so much about "Cop City", it’s because of people like [...]  (Editor-in-Chief Alex Ip) [...] Give them a follow for  really insightful coverage.
-   Rep.  Ruwa Romman , the first Muslim woman to be elected to the Georgia State House of Representatives, on Twitter
...Tan creates a rich tapestry that connects  science and history, localized personal memories and science of worldwide importance, effectively expanding both the reader's access to what is described and the reader's understanding of the much larger contexts they are exploring.  Exquisite, sobering, accessible writing.
-  The National Academies , on  Fayth Tan 's  winning entry  in the  Eric and Wendy Schmidt Awards for Excellence in Science Communication  
In the few months that I've become aware of the ["Cop City"] issue, your  exceptionally detailed and factual reporting  is the first time things have been put in perspective for me. 
-  Reader  Albert Conway , in an email conversation with Editor-in-Chief Alex Ip
I was talking with my cofounder of 3484 earlier this week...we both fully agreed your journalism even as a student has been some of  the best and most impactful in Atlanta, especially about "Cop City".
-  Sam Baskin,  Founder and former Creative Director of  3484 Magazine,  Georgia Tech’s official student news magazine

We are 100% supported by readers and grants. We will never have a paywall, nor do we sell ads or do sponsored content. We do believe in an  open, real-time budget  accurate to the cent that allows you to see exactly how your donations are making an impact.
