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:
- "How can science look more like us?"
- "How are scientists shaped by what happens outside of the lab?"
- "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.

...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.

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.

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".
