A group of biologists whose funding was cut under the Trump administration reportedly continued their research in a makeshift laboratory set up in a motel room, and there made what is described as a groundbreaking discovery. The story is being shared as an example of scientific perseverance amid research funding cuts, though details of the discovery and the researchers involved remain limited.
