Most shocking to CARD workers was the termination of lead researcher Kendall Van Keuren-Jensen, who was announced internally as the organization's next acting director and was expected to bring significant advancements to the research field. "It's just jaw-dropping," an upper-level CARD employee told ABC News of Van Keuren-Jensen's firing.

The Trump administration has dismissed several workers from the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) Alzheimer's research center, sparking concerns over the future of critical research into the disease. The dismissals, which include both administrative and scientific staff, have raised alarms among experts who fear that the loss of experienced personnel could significantly delay progress in Alzheimer's research. The affected employees were part of a program aimed at understanding the underlying causes of Alzheimer's and developing new treatments. Critics argue that these actions could undermine years of work and potentially set back the timeline for finding effective interventions for the neurodegenerative disorder. The administration has not provided detailed reasons for the firings, but sources suggest it might be part of broader budget cuts and a reevaluation of federal health research priorities.
