Under President Trumpâs administration, significant cuts and layoffs within federal agencies have severely hampered scientific operations. The NIH, a major biomedical research funder, is described by a confidential source as 'totally broken and non-functional', unable to hire or effectively communicate. NOAA scientists face challenges in executing fieldwork due to furloughed contractors, while others struggle with publication fees and essential lab supplies. This environment is further compounded by a climate of fear instigated by the Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, hinting at even more workforce reductions.
