In its first 100 days, the Trump administration — specifically, the Department of Government Efficiency — shuttered agencies and slashed budgets pertaining to foreign aid, scientific research, food safety and more. How will this impact people's health and well-being both in the U.S., and around the world? To answer that question, we're calling in our colleagues: global health correspondent <a href="https://www.npr.org/people/470414236/gabrielle-emanuel">Gabrielle Emmanuel</a> and health policy reporter <a href="https://www.npr.org/people/349308023/selena-simmons-duffin">Selena Simmons-Duffin</a>.
