The U.S. relied on these science advisers. Then the Trump administration cut them (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Netia McCray recalls how excited she was to join the federal advisory committee on long COVID in 2025. She had been diagnosed in the early days of the pandemic — and symptoms such as fatigue, heart palpitations and shortness of breath had become a frustrating but inescapable part of life. By joining this group of doctors, researchers and other experts advising on the disease, McCray, 36, had hoped to channel her years of experience as a long-COVID patient into "something that could benefit so ma
What makes Nepal's geography so uniquely prone to disasters (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The death toll continues to rise after flash flooding hit the border between Nepal and Chinese-administered Tibet. The flood carried away villages in minutes and killed hundreds. The region is no stranger to this kind of tragedy. People there have endured other disasters, including a deadly earthquake in 2015 that took thousands of lives.

The Navy has not confirmed those reports, and NPR has not independently verified them. "A small number of m

MICHAEL KRATSIOS: The Genesis Mission will be the central hub for the entire federal government to revolutionize the conduct of American science with AI. MARTIN: Science correspon
Colombia and Venezuela earthquakes: What made them so different? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck Colombia early this week, killing hundreds of people. The loss of life is tragic, though so far, the death toll is much lower than in neighboring Venezuela. That country was hit by a similarly sized pair of quakes last month. NPR's Katia Riddle looks at what these two seismic events have in common and what accounts for their differences. KATIA RIDDLE, BYLINE: The Colombia earthquake is what seismologists call an intermediate-depth earthquake. William Barnhart wo
