Trump cuts threaten a ‘generation of scientists’ as many weigh leaving US
Trump cuts threaten a ‘generation of scientists’ as many weigh leaving US
President’s call to ‘Make America Healthy Again’ has led to slashes in NIH funding – endangering jobs and vital research
Summary
Trump’s proposed cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) threaten U.S. biomedical research, forcing many scientists to consider leaving the country.
A 7 February policy would slash NIH funding by two-thirds, though a federal judge has temporarily blocked it.
Researchers relying on these grants fear for their jobs, with some already exploring options abroad.
The cuts particularly impact neuroscience, diabetes, and bird flu research, while also dismantling DEI initiatives.
Many scientists warn of long-term consequences for innovation and global health collaboration.

Ya you’re right. Statistically most people never bothered to vote, which makes them complicit and worse than actual Trump voters.
Yall can pretend to be innocent bystanders. Instead I think you’re a big piece of the problem. Maybe if you actually voted we wouldn’t have Trump.
whats that saying" doing nothing and standing by is as bad as helping the enemy" this was also part of a plot in DS9 episode(when the dominion occupied ds9, and kira did next to nothing about it).
