Senate GOP just dropped the highly anticipated “Better Care Reconciliation Act” (read our latest Health on the Hill post about it here). Keifer and Ti break it down [1:19] before talking with Martha Streng, PhD candidate in neuroscience at the University of Minnesota [27:46]. She discusses the threats of significant cuts to research funding under a Trump Administration and what effects it could have on the already shaky climate in academia, and sheds light on the dawn of a new era in neuroscience tech research.
Trump’s new budget proposal includes steep cuts to basic science research, and does not show any understanding of the relationship between basic and translational sciences. Martha argues that these cuts would be detrimental not only to advancing research on the treatment of disorders like schizophrenia, but to our comprehension of even the normal brain.
