Scientists are holding a 'science fair' in the lobby of a Congressional building to show what the US stands to lose with cuts

Researchers and scientists organized a 'science fair' in a Congressional lobby to highlight potential losses in knowledge due to funding cuts under the Trump administration. The event coincided with the signing of the 'Big, Beautiful Bill', which introduces significant spending cuts for scientific research across various fields. The U.S. is at risk of losing its long-held position as a leader in scientific research and development, as efforts to further cut science funding are sought. The CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science warned that such cuts would jeopardize America's global scientific standing.

The U.S. is ceding its place as a leader in research and development, a role it has held for decades. Funding cuts are widespread, affecting critical scientific endeavors.

These funding cuts and cancellations threaten the development of cures for diseases, advanced military technology, and significant achievements such as landing a man on the moon.
