Science in the News Daily
Every weekday, we round up science-related news stories from the mainstream media. Daily goes out by e-mail to more than 10,000 scientists, decisionmakers, journalists, educators, students, and others. It's your electronic science section, a professionally edited news portal. Also available via RSS. New feature: "Sci-Blog Spy."
Science in the News Weekly
Weekly condenses the top science coverage from the Daily, plus breaking news and feature stories from each weekend, into one concise, readable summary, distributed by e-mail. More than 7,000 receive this e-newsletter, produced in partnership with American Scientist Online.
Sigma Xi Science Cafés
Sigma Xi chapters continue to lead the science café movement. Cafés bring together scientists and members of the public in an accessible venue, putting them on equal footing to discuss current scientific research, its findings, context, caveats and implications.
Affiliate Program
To help increase public engagement in science and technology, Sigma Xi created the Affiliate Program. This initiative also recognizes those who make important contributions to scientific research, both inside and outside the laboratory. Now, individuals who don’t qualify for nominated membership may still join the Society as Sigma Xi Affiliates.
