Where does federal science funding stand now?

Science Friday | 8 hours ago

Early in President Trump’s second term, thousands of federal scientists were laid off, USAID was shuttered, and billions of dollars worth of grants were frozen or terminated. Then, later, Congress decided to fund science and health agencies similarly to previous years. So where do things stand now? 

Flora chats with Sudip Parikh, head of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, about the state of science funding and whether the midterm election results will affect anything. 

Guest:

Dr. Sudip Parikh is the CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
