Since taking office in January, President Trump has moved to cut federal funding to universities and other institutions carrying out academic research. Knight Institute Research Director Katy Glenn Bass tells host Cristian Farias about how the Trump administration is using the threat of cutting federal funding to try to enforce ideological conformity with the administration's views. With cuts affecting their research, Cornell Ph.D. students Isako Di Tomassi and Emma Scales talk about organizing the McClintock Letters, an initiative in which researchers from around the country are writing op-eds for local and state publications discussing how funding cuts are affecting their research and lives. Facing existential threats, scientists are finding new ways to communicate the importance of their research.
