    28. Game Over for pediatric cancer? Federal Funding Cuts & What’s at Stake
    Jun 3 2025
    In this week's episode, Dana and Val unpack the rising concern around potential federal funding cuts and their devastating impact on pediatric cancer research. Drawing from real-time experiences with researchers and families, they discuss the challenges of navigating social media noise, burnout, misinformation, and how research cycles already measured in decades could be further delayed. With only 4% of the national cancer research budget allocated to pediatric cancers, the stakes have never been higher.
