Executive orders, sweeping budget cuts, and other actions in the first 100 days of the Trump administration have had innumerable impacts on science in the United States and throughout the world. The scientific workforce, biomedical research, and global health initiatives all face widespread, perhaps permanent damage. Science news staff weigh in on how these changes have affected the funding and practice of scientific research, and what kinds of lasting impacts the administration may have on the global scientific enterprise.

Lupus, multiple sclerosis, and other autoimmune diseases all result from a treacherous immune system attacking a person’s own healthy tissue. Last year, a new approach, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy, yielded striking improvements in seriously ill patients, opening what may be a new chapter in autoimmune disease treatment.

It's a hard world out there, especially for a little guy. So what's a soft-bodied animal to do? Turns out that marine invertebrates basically figured out the best defense system of all time, and nobody's a better demonstration of that than ammonites. Their swirled shells are so tough that they can keep mosasaurs out. So let's talk about the intense evolutionary arms race that gave us the humble sea shell.

India's Roopkund Lake, also known as Skeleton Lake, is the site of gruesome sculptures of human bones. Many causes of these deaths have been proposed, from hail to divine intervention. But scientists now think that whatever happened, it didn't happen just once. Hundreds of people have died at this lake... at least twice.

A carnivorous caterpillar discovered on the Hawaiian island of Oahu adorns its silken protective case with the body parts of insect prey. This macabre coat helps them hide from spiders, whose webs make up the caterpillars’ hunting grounds. Bone collector caterpillars are also cannibals, and one is shown eating its fellow species at twice the normal speed.

The evening rush hour commute for greater mouse-tailed bats has surprisingly few midair collisions (marked in video). Starting from inside a cave where thousands of Rhinopoma microphyllum bats huddle during the day, the colony streams out a narrow exit to hunt in Israel’s Hula Valley. At the cave exit, bats fly so close that echolocation signals for detecting obstacles, each other and prey partially mask neighbors’ pings like the cacophony of a human cocktail party. As the colony streams into open air, however, bat-to-bat distance expands, and bats can hear themselves ping.

This pair of pups represent dire wolves brought back from extinction, claims Colossal Biosciences. The Dallas-based company made tweaks to gray wolf DNA based on information gleaned from reconstructed ancient dire wolf DNA to create embryos. Twins Romulus and Remus were born in October. See how they have grown from howling and milk guzzling 15-day-old pups to playful 5-month-olds.

About Space's Deepest Secrets
A few generations ago, traveling to the Moon was hard to imagine, and going beyond the Moon was a pipe dream. Today there is a new breed of explorer, tasked with going deep into space to unlock and reveal first-ever views of alien worlds and cosmic bodies far beyond anyone's imagination. These men and women have pushed their ingenuity and curiosity beyond the limits to uncover some of the most-groundbreaking findings in the history of space exploration.
