Researchers gathered in the Rayburn House Office Building to showcase projects halted by grant cancellations from the Trump administration. Titled "The things we'll never know," the event aimed to highlight the individual research losses resulting from these funding cuts. Many scientists shared their experience, pointing to a lack of rational criteria guiding funding decisions and the negative implications for scientific progress. Some scientists opted for anonymity due to concerns about potential backlash, particularly in states with Republican leadership. This gathering illustrated the far-reaching consequences of canceled grants on diversity and scientific contributions.
Called "The things we'll never know," the event was meant to highlight the work of researchers whose grants had been canceled by the Trump administration.
Seeing even a small sampling of the individual grants that have been terminated provides a much better perspective on the sort of damage that is being done to the US public by these cuts.
Researchers described work they were no longer doing, highlighting the impact of grant cancellations on scientific research.
Several scientists expressed concerns over retaliation and chose to remain anonymous despite the lack of federal government threats.
