Interior Department employees say they have been scrambling to keep the lights on and do their jobs as budget cuts driven by the Department of Government efficiency team start to bite.
The article from KJZZ discusses the potential impacts of proposed spending cuts by the U.S. House of Representatives on various scientific research projects. Specifically, it highlights how these cuts could affect research involving ferrets, which are used to study influenza and other respiratory viruses, and water testing programs that monitor water quality and safety. Additionally, the cuts might jeopardize the training and development of future scientists, as funding for educational and research grants could be reduced. The article points out that these reductions are part of a broader effort to manage federal spending, but critics argue that such cuts could undermine public health, environmental monitoring, and scientific advancement in the long term.
