If you’re a scientist in Maine, you’re not just competing for grants anymore. You’re navigating a political minefield.
“This is not politics as usual. It’s a dismantling of scientific infrastructure.”
And yet, the researchers show up. They write the grants. Train the students. Keep the work going with whatever funds remain.
They do it because the alternative is giving up.
They do it because the next cure, the next breakthrough, the next saved life could still happen—if someone is there to make it.
