The Impact of Trump's Presidency on Science

When Donald Trump won the US presidential election in November 2024, the scientific community braced itself for potential chaos and cuts in funding. In response to this uncertainty, six leading biomedical researchers shared their priorities for the incoming administration in an article published in Nature. Now, one year into Trump's presidency, these same researchers reflect on the challenges faced and discuss ways to protect crucial areas of science.

The First Year Under Trump

Since taking office, President Trump has made significant cuts to science funding and implemented policies that have put scientific research at risk. His administration's stance on climate change, in particular, has raised concerns among scientists worldwide. Despite these challenges, the scientific community remains resilient and committed to protecting the integrity of research.

Strategies for Protecting Science

In their reflections, the researchers propose several strategies for safeguarding science in the face of chaos and cuts. They emphasize the importance of advocating for evidence-based policies, promoting scientific literacy among the public, and fostering collaborations between researchers and policymakers. By working together, the scientific community can strengthen its impact and ensure that crucial areas of science are protected.

Looking Ahead

As we navigate the uncertainties of Trump's presidency, it is more important than ever for scientists to unite and defend the integrity of research. By staying informed, engaging in advocacy efforts, and supporting one another, we can overcome the challenges ahead and emerge stronger as a scientific community. Together, we can protect science amid chaos and cuts and pave the way for a brighter future.
