A marked reduction in federal support for science and health research is fueling anxiety among experts and advocates, as resources are redirected away from critical areas like cancer research and food safety. The politicization of public health and the spread of misinformation are intensifying challenges for scientific progress, while grassroots movements emphasize mentorship and community resilience. These developments highlight urgent questions about the future of innovation and public welfare.
