The Erasing of American Science How far can the Trump administration bend U.S. research before it breaks?

How long until American research breaks?

I have thoughts, as shared with @katiewuwrites.bsky.social in her outstanding piece.

But two of them are slated to lead the NIH and the FDA.

Is this how they'll stand up for science?
