    Fact, fiction and future for U.S. scientific and medical research

    Billions in potential cuts to the National Institutes of Health could dramatically reshape the future of American science. The Trump administration’s latest budget proposal calls for a 10% reduction in funding to NIH funding and additional cuts to other science agencies including the Environmental Protection Agency and NASA. Congress ultimately beat back steeper proposed cuts to NIH last year and appears poised to do so again, but the science reductions that have gone through have left many doctors and researchers reeling. Labs have tightened budgets, clinical trials are being scaled back or delayed, and a generation of young scientists faces an increasingly uncertain future. The Trump administration has specifically targeted initiatives it sees as political, including researching health outcomes for women and minorities, as well as climate change and mRNA vaccines. Amid other priority shifts, experts worry there could be ripple effects that stall progress on cancer, Alzheimer’s and other rare diseases. This isn’t a typical partisan fight. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have raised alarms about what’s at stake, framing NIH funding as essential to public health, economic growth, and America’s global leadership in science. So why are cuts still on the table and where will the impact hit hardest?  On this episode of Studio 2, the fight over health, science and our country’s global edge.  Guests:  — Max Kozlov, science journalist at Nature — Allie Sinclair, Joan Bossert Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania and an incoming Assistant Professor of psychological sciences at Rice University

    Age gaps in romance

    May/December romances are back in the spotlight thanks to a reality TV series pairing singles decades apart in age.

But when two adults fall in love, does an age difference matter?  Guests: Justin Lehmiller, Senior Research Fellow at the Kinsey Institute and host of the Sex and Psychology Podcast Christine and Eduardo, an engaged couple with a 26 year age gap
