Susan Collins, chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, criticized the Trump administration's significant cuts to federal science funding, which she argues threaten Americaâs leadership in biomedical innovation and scientific research.

The cuts have notably affected climate research institutions, including Princeton, which saw funding withdrawn due to claims that its work exaggerated climate threats, according to the administration's statements.
