President Trump's administration has significantly undermined science funding and research activity, firing thousands of scientists and halting crucial clinical trials. Proposed budget cuts threaten major scientific areas, with potential slashes up to 50% for NASA and 40% for the NIH. This has led to fears among researchers about the future of science in America, exacerbated by tight immigration measures affecting scholars and students. A letter from the nation's top scientists highlighted a perceived crisis, prompting overwhelming concern among the scientific community regarding the future of US research and innovation.
In March, some 1,900 members of the US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine published an open letter, declaring: "We are sending this SOS to sound a clear warning: the nation's scientific enterprise is being decimated."
The Trump administration is considering cutting the science budget for NASA nearly in half and spending at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) by 40%.
