The recent funding freeze from the Trump administration has left scientists across the US in distress, as it initially paused billions in federal research funding, particularly affecting NIH support. Although the freeze was quickly retracted, an ongoing review of funded programs continues to fuel anxiety among researchers. Experts warn that such actions jeopardize academic freedom and diminish the US's scientific vitality, exacerbated by cuts to civil service positions, including scientists. This environment fosters hesitance in universities regarding scientific exploration, potentially leading to long-term detriment in US science.
Scientists and technicians are panicking and don't know if they can have a future in research, underscoring the chaotic climate for US scientific endeavors post-freeze.
The Trump administration has made the US a hostile place for researchers, threatening academic freedom and job security for scientists across the nation.
