Since 1982, the Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE) has provided a critical forum for sharing original research into conventional and unconventional topics. Subjects often cross mainstream boundaries, yet may have profound implications for human knowledge and technology. We publish a peer-reviewed journal and the popular EdgeScience magazine, host conferences, and connect scholars. more

Details Coming Soon

In Memory of Bill Bengston

William (Bill) F. Bengston, SSE’s President from 2010 until 2022, passed away peacefully at his home on April 16, 2025, at the age of 75 surrounded by family. 

He was a professor of statistics and research methods at St. Joseph’s University for 40 years, a researcher, and an author.  His healing research produced the first successful full cures of transplanted mammary cancer and methylcholantrene- induced sarcomas in experimental mice with the hands-on technique that he helped develop.  His research continued over forty plus years, and he has numerous peer reviewed academic publications.  He has also lectured widely in the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
