Unsurprisingly, the administration’s actions are having ripple effects for higher education, business (among companies who supply scientific products, for instance), and public health. At NOAA, these upheavals included the proposal to eliminate the agency’s primary research arm (the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research) as well as funding for climate research facilities and grants. It reshaped department advisory boards, for example, such as those focused on education science and the accreditation of higher education institutions. House and Senate versions of the budget include substantially higher funding for science than was included in Trump’s budget request, but specific allocations remain unknown. —Eos (@eos.org)Citation: AGU (2026), The state of the science 1 year on: Academia, Eos, 107, https://doi.org/10.1029/2026EO260005.
