Trump’s escalating feud with Harvard affects cancer research

Season 2025 Episode 137 | 4m 39s

The Trump administration's feud with major American universities escalated this week as a federal antisemitism task force notified Harvard that $450 million of the school’s research grants are being cut. That’s on top of the $2.2 billion it had previously frozen. Laura Barrón-López spoke with one of the affected researchers, Joan Brugge, director of Harvard’s Ludwig Cancer Center.
