Since the end of World War II, a robust partnership between the U.S. federal government and academic research institutions has fueled countless scientific breakthroughs. This alliance, rooted in a mutual understanding of science's vital role in national security and societal progress, has kept America at the forefront of global innovation. But recent changes from the Trump administration have put that alliance at risk. What could happen if we lose the vital partnership between academia and the federal government?
