Funding for biomedical research from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which supports more than 300,000 scientists, was cut by billions of dollars.
Environmental sciences have also been targeted, with more than 1,000 scientists and other employees set to be laid-off from the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) research office.
The administration is also planning to reduce the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) workforce by up to 20 per cent, which could seriously affect weather forecasting.
science唔係剩係得NIH, EPA, NOAA
