US science after a year of Trump: what has been lost and what remains

www.nature.com - faviconnature.com
TLDR

A year into Trump’s second presidential term, Nature presents a series of graphics that reveal the impact of his administration on science. The Trump administration has scaled back and restricted what science the country pursues and the workforce that runs the federal scientific enterprise. Over 7,800 research grants were terminated or frozen, and more than 25,000 scientists and personnel left agencies that oversee research. The administration proposed budget cuts of 35%, amounting to $32 billion, but Congress has rejected the most drastic cuts.
