I think obviously it's very justified and that the administration's actions were overstepping their boundaries and were unlawful. Again, you know, a lot of that money is being used for life saving research to advance research in Alzheimer's cancer. It's being put to good causes. And it's not like the advances that are being made from Harvard are insular. They're to help the general public. It's to help, you know, take care of future patients to make sure that they're able, you know, to take on these diseases, you know, head on. Um, so and yeah, in general, it's just pushing the frontiers of knowledge. Um, so I think it's really exciting news. I think it's probably going to be appealed, but I hope that it holds true. But I think it's a good start. I think in general, it's just it's going to inject that energy that, you know, the Harvard research community needs. And a lot of that, you know, comes through funding. I'm hoping that, you know, a silver lining we can take from this is that I think what the research community has shown is that it can really come together, in these difficult times and and fight back and to stand for what is right. Um, and yeah, I'm looking forward to it now. Yeah, honestly, that makes me very relieved because I have, like, big research goals. I know other people here also have like research goals. They want to have their projects funded, they want to have their own startups. And these are really cool ideas that I think need to be supported. Um, and because we obviously have this funding, like these dreams and passions are going to come true that otherwise wouldn't have. But it made me happy to know that, like, the judicial system is sticking up for us and that they'll have our back and they're always going to like, fight for the truth and fight for an institution that also cares about the truth. So something I've been passionate about is heart disease, which affects 51% of the US population. Um, so I've been wanting to create like custom stem cell therapies for heart disease and obviously like that needs funding that needs support. So specifically for me, this funding not being cut is funding that can come towards my project, come towards my goals and hopefully in the future. Like this is a goal that can like become realized and enter the market. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Harvard Students React to Judge's Decision to Reverse Trump Administration's Federal Funding Cuts","description":"A federal judge in Boston has ordered the reversal of over $2.6 billion in federal funding cuts to Harvard University.
