Dear Reader,

I'm turning 24 today! 🥳

I can't believe I've now spent nearly a quarter of my life growing The Xylom (Our first iteration began in May 2018). It's always amazing to see how far we've come, and exciting to imagine where we could go.

And of course... The best way to send your birthday wishes is to give $24 to the only AAPI-run science newsroom in the United States! For every 10 donations you will fund the publication of a new story 👇🏽

Yes, I'll donate $24 today!

Thank you once again from the bottom of my heart for believing in something bigger than ourselves.

With gratitude,

Alex Ip,
Editor-in-Chief,
The Xylom
