A core group of disease detectives, who play a crucial role in tracking outbreaks, have been spared, but other emerging scientists and public health leaders are facing uncertainty. This move has significant implications for the nation's health security and ability to respond to future pandemics, highlighting the need for continued investment in public health infrastructure and scientific research, including epidemiology and infectious disease prevention.
