WHYY has published a story on the implications of the Trump administration's decision to gut USAID for the work of researchers in our lab (PDRI-DevLab). You may find it interesting: whyy.org/articles/pen...
Penn researchers lose funding and jobs after USAID shutdown
Researchers say losing USAID funding means less research that benefits the U.S. government, fewer opportunities for students, and a loss of trust in the U.S. overseas.
