Research at Risk: Since World War II, universities have worked with the federal government to create an innovation ecosystem that has yielded life-changing progress. Now much of that work may be halted as funding is withdrawn. Find out more about the threats to medical, engineering, and scientific research, as well as how Harvard is fighting to preserve this work—and the University's core values.

Over 12 million people worldwide experience a stroke each year and are often left with difficulty walking. Find out how Krithika Swaminathan, a PhD student in materials science & mechanical engineering at Harvard Griffin GSAS and the Harvard Biodesign Lab at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, aims to help with soft wearable robots that enable patients to retrain their limbs and improve their gait.
