Philadelphia researchers fear proposed changes to federal science funding could mean a generation of lost scientists

Researchers such as Brittany Allyn and Lucas Restrepo are currently receiving support through private funding sources like the Brody Family Medical Trust Fund fellowship to continue basic scientific research. They warn that proposed changes and disruptions in federal science grants threaten necessary fundamental biological studies. Experts note that while foundation funds provide temporary relief, they cannot replace long-term federal financial support required for advanced scientific work.
