US science after a year of Trump: what has been lost and what remains
A year into Trump’s second presidential term, Nature presents a series of graphics that reveal the impact of his administration on science.

The administration proposed budget cuts of 35%, amounting to $32 billion, but Congress has rejected the most drastic cuts.
