As the Trump administration continues its crusade against the institutions of science, the careers of would-be researchers in the US are on the line. President Donald Trump has suggested slashing NASA's science directorate's budget in half, which could deal a fatal blow to dozens of future science missions and greatly undermine the United States' leadership in space, experts warn. Trump's outright anti-science agenda could have devastating knock-on effects for anybody looking to make a career
