flag U.S. science leadership at risk due to funding cuts, layoffs, and attacks on academic freedom, Nobel officials warn.

flag Nobel officials in Sweden warn that President Trump’s cuts to research funding, attacks on academic freedom, and mass layoffs of federal scientists threaten U.S. global leadership in science. flag Since January, over $9.5 billion in NIH grants and $2.6 billion in contracts have been terminated, impacting critical research on climate change, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and gender studies. flag The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and Nobel Committee for Medicine caution that sustained funding reductions could cause a brain drain, weaken international collaboration, and accelerate China’s rise in research, risking long-term harm to global innovation. flag They urge preservation of scientific independence and investment.
