About Sigma Xi 

Sigma Xi, an international, multidisciplinary research society, honors and encourages excellence in scientific investigation and companionship and cooperation among researchers in all fields of science and engineering. Its most salient activity is to publish American Scientist , the premier journal for the scientifically literate general reader.  A new Sigma Xi resource on Evolution includes several articles from American Scientist.
