In Memory of Chantal Toporow It is with profound sadness and deep respect that we mark the passing of Dr. C. M. Chantal Toporow, who left this world on August 18, 2025, at the age of 68. Throughout her professional life, Chantal interwove various scientific interests and passions, bridging the rigor of aerospace engineering and anomalies research, along with a commitment to ecological stewardship and the arts. In doing so, she embodied the kind of scientific synthesis that the Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE) has long aspired to nurture. | Become a memberThe Society for Scientific Exploration provides a critical international forum for sharing original research on unconventional topics and furthering our understanding of human capabilities. The society is fully donor and member-funded, with contributions providing support for the open access dissemination of research through a peer-reviewed journal and SSE-hosted conferences where professional researchers and interested members of the public engage with one another to advance science. Anyone can join the society by making an annual contribution, with the membership level dependent on level of contribution and academic status. All contributions are tax deductible. |
