Opinion: Federal funding cuts threaten the next generation of U.S. scientists When we cut federal funding to universities, we’re not just stalling research. We’re closing doors for the next generation of American scientists.

Thanks to @sciencehomecoming.bsky.social initiative for inspiring me to write this op-ed for my hometown paper, where I reflect on how federal funding shaped my path in science—and what’s at stake if we don’t protect those opportunities for the next generation.
