Our stories tackle three questions:Since 2018, we have produced an average of 2-3 original stories per month. Our contributors come from or work in 19 countries and regions and over half of them self-identify as non-male. We are proud to be featured by top-tier institutions such as Georgia Tech and UIUC, republished in leading industry publications such as ASBMB Today , in addition to winning accolades such as the Millennium Fellowship (awarded by United Nations Academic Impact and Millennium Campus Network).Most of our staff and team of contributors volunteer their time and effort because they believe in the power of humanizing science professionals and giving a voice to those who are not usually heard. However, we would like to achieve more stable funding to power our day-to-day work, create steady growth, and eventually give back to the people who makes The Xylom run.Sounds good, eh?We wouldn't be here without our previous fundraising round on Chuffed.org, and we ask for you to spare your two cents. We'll see you on the other side! All scientists are human. Humans tell stories. The Xylom is the place for scientists to tell their stories.Yours sincerely,Alex and the rest of The Xylom team
