The Science + Literature program identifies three books annually, steered by a committee of scientific and literary experts, to deepen readers’ understanding of science and technology with a focus on work that highlights the diversity of voices in scientific writing. The selected titles will act as a catalyst to create discourse, understanding, and engagement with science for communities across the country. Authors will receive a $10,000 prize, be celebrated at a ceremony, and feature in national public programming.

The inaugural committee and selected titles will be announced in Winter/Spring 2022.

The Science + Literature program is made possible by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
