U.S. Science Is in Chaos

The US science community is facing disruptions due to the current political climate. Funding and research opportunities are being impacted, affecting scientists' ability to conduct research. This chaos has significant implications for the country's scientific progress and global competitiveness. The situation is a result of the breakdown of the 'compact' between science and politics, which previously ensured a balance between the two. Scientists and policymakers must work together to restore this balance.
