Sweeping layoffs are on the horizon for federal health and science agencies, with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) being hit particularly hard. Former director Monica Bertagnolli expressed her concerns about the devastating impact these layoffs will have on the next generation of scientists.

In an interview at the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting in Boston, Bertagnolli shared her worries about losing talented young scientists who have dedicated years to their education and training. She emphasized the importance of supporting these individuals to ensure the future of scientific research.

The layoffs are expected to target recent hires, adding to the turmoil that has plagued the NIH in recent weeks. The agency faced a communication pause imposed by the federal government, halted grant review panels, and is reevaluating the type of research it funds. Additionally, there are discussions about reducing indirect costs and censoring certain terms in grant proposals.

The situation has raised alarms within the scientific community, as many fear the potential loss of promising talent and the discouragement of future scientists from pursuing careers in research. The uncertainty surrounding funding and support for scientific endeavors has created a sense of unease among researchers and scholars.

As the NIH navigates these challenges, it is crucial to prioritize the well-being of its workforce and ensure that essential research continues to receive the necessary resources and funding. The impact of these layoffs extends beyond individual researchers to the broader scientific community, highlighting the importance of stable and consistent support for scientific endeavors.
