NIH Loses 20% Staff Under Trump, Threatening US Biomedical Research

During Donald Trump's second term, approximately 20% of NIH staff left due to funding cuts and operational challenges. This significant workforce reduction jeopardizes scientific breakthroughs and the nation's ability to address public health crises effectively. Moving forward, the U.S. biomedical research community faces the task of stabilizing funding and retaining talent to prevent further decline in innovation capacity.
