Debating truth is pulling us apart. Seeking the truth can bring us together. Understanding and supporting science, exploration and research is more important than ever, so help us shine a spotlight on those seeking answers.
We must not allow this to happen. It’s essential we explore and launch new funding mechanisms.
In 2025, the Trump administration’s cuts to research grants sapped scientists’ appetite for bold exploration. In its place, the country may be stuck with more timid, short-term thinking, @katherinejwu.com reports.

Another day, another attack on science. How can we do a better job of engaging the public in this battle?

More and more research showing the wide-ranging benefits of different vaccinations. It’s critical that people hear about these studies and understand the importance.

Influenza isn’t just a respiratory disease. Measures to stop its transmission, such as vaccination, could prevent thousands of heart-attack deaths.

This week the Trump CDC attacked science — and our health, and our kids’ health — by twisting the truth on the CDC website.
