Since the second Trump administration began in early 2025, funding cuts to scientific research have disrupted the work of many US universities and government agencies. These cuts have worrying implications for critical research, the economy, and the future of US scientific talent. Reducing resources at a time when China is forging ahead—if not already ahead—in certain emerging technologies risks US science and technology (S&T) leadership.
