Something I've been feeling a lot lately, but haven't heard much about is the grief that comes with being an early career scientist in America in 2025.

I think we all understand that, even if things turn out well, there is no going "back to normal" now.

Cuts to science research funding cut American lives short βˆ’ federal support is essential for medical breakthroughs The National Institutes of Health has been integral to scientific progress in treating countless human diseases. Without its support, patients will ultimately pay the price.

Federal funding of biomedical research has been a remarkably successful partnership, with benefits that are so intertwined in our daily lives that they can be easy to take for granted.

So what will we lose if the U.S. continues to defund research?
