Cuts to science and research in the U.S. over the past year

"The administration cut science funding, withheld grants, and eliminated jobs in research areas that did not align."

"Nature, with visualization by Kim Albrecht, show the total impact so far. A treemap with a broken glass metaphor leads the article. I'm into it. But you can see the sudden drop in staffing for the government science agencies in the chart above, which says most of what you need to know."

The administration cut science funding, withheld grants, and eliminated jobs in research areas that did not align. These actions produced measurable losses across federal research programs and careers. A treemap using a broken-glass metaphor visualizes the fragmentation and distribution of the cuts. The visualization shows a sudden drop in staffing across government science agencies, concentrating reductions in areas deemed misaligned. Funding and grant withholding interrupted ongoing projects and reduced long-term research capacity. The staffing declines and program eliminations risk weakening national science infrastructure and the ability to sustain complex, multi-year scientific endeavors.
