magine a world without the internet, or GPS, MRNA vaccines or the touchscreen on your iPhone. The science and technology that have become integral to our daily lives may never have existed, experts say, were it not for research funded by the federal government at American colleges and universities.

In an article published by CNN on April 17, 2025, it is reported that former President Donald Trump has proposed significant cuts to federal funding for universities, targeting institutions he claims promote "woke ideology."
