On March 7, supporters of scientific research rallied across the U.S. to oppose substantial federal funding cuts, including an $800 million reduction to Johns Hopkins University. The new administration significantly downsized workforces at major scientific agencies like the CDC and NIH. Advocates, including ex-NIH Director Francis Collins, emphasized that these cuts go beyond budget adjustments and compromise critical research in areas like disease prevention, which could hinder technological advancements and impact public health significantly.
"Prominent advocates for science, including Francis Collins and Gretchen Goldman, assert that funding reductions hamper vital research and risk programs essential for disease prevention and new technology development."
"While budget cuts may appear to be mere trimming, they threaten not just individual studies, but entire scientific programs that protect public health and advance technology."
