Reproductive health is historically understudied and underfunded in the United States. Scientists across Connecticut and beyond have been working to change that.

Scientific initiatives like EndoRISE, a Connecticut-based program focused on advancing endometriosis research, are making strides toward better understanding reproductive health.

This hour, we explore how President Trump’s recent funding cuts could impact their progress.

GUESTS:
Michayla Savitt: State Government Reporter, CT Public 
Dr. Danielle Luciano: Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and co-director of EndoRISE
Dr. Lubna Pal: Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences, Yale School of Medicine
Julie Rovner: Chief Washington Correspondent, KFF
