The National Science Foundation froze grantmaking for a while to comply with the orders. And DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency, started to shrink the federal workforce, firing thousands of workers from all corners of the government.

The Trump administration's stated goal in all of this is to cut what they claim is administrative bloat, the kinds of taxpayer dollars that fund research overhead costs. But Marguerite wonders what will happen if basic research in the U.S. starts to falter.
