What a year! Yes, it was our 10th anniversary, but it also brought an unprecedented blizzard of news, and while we weren’t added to a Signal chat on war plans, we did have a giant health insurer email us internal strategy documents by mistake. Our coverage featured everything from a piece about a tuxedo-wearing baby who made history to the story of a towering yet controversial scientist told by a late (and treasured) colleague of ours.
Since our most popular stories focused on the impact of the Trump administration on health and medicine, we start this overview with our 10-part series “American Science, Shattered.” It was described by one outlet as “the most comprehensive telling of this year’s carnage” in academia and government-funded research. As for President Trump himself, we looked at the mystery of the bruise on his hand, and why a 79-year-old man might need an MRI.
