Scientists Urge Trump Administration to Halt Assault on Science and Research Funding

Over 2,000 scientists have united in an open letter to the Trump administration, urging an immediate halt to what they describe as an 'assault on science.' The letter, supported by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, highlights the detrimental impact of recent policy changes on scientific research and funding in the United States.

The scientists express deep concern over the administration's decisions to cut funding for critical research programs, which they argue jeopardizes America's position as a global leader in science and technology. The letter points out specific instances where funding has been slashed, affecting research in areas such as climate change, public health, and technological innovation.

Further, the letter warns that these cuts not only hinder domestic scientific progress but also allow countries like China to gain a competitive edge in global science and technology arenas. The scientists call for a reversal of these policies to safeguard the future of American research and innovation.
