In this episode, host Kacie speaks with Alex Ip, founder and editor of The Xylom, about creating the only Asian American-run science news outlet in the United States. Alex shares how his background as a Hong Kong native studying in Atlanta led him to identify gaps in science communication for diverse audiences.
The Xylom focuses on "science and society stories" exploring environmental justice, the intersection of the American South and global South, and giving voice to underrepresented perspectives in science. Alex discusses their commitment to multilingual reporting and building collaborative networks during challenging times for journalism and democracy.
