Why now
Trump recently delivered an Independence Day speech at Mount Rushmore in North Dakota, positioning his administration around themes of American strength and economic growth. As headlines highlight the stock market rally and tax cuts, there is growing focus on how the Trump agenda might reshape U.S. foreign policy priorities, including international scientific collaboration and research funding. The Nature article examines whether reduced emphasis on diplomatic science engagement could affect America's standing in global research communities and collaborative projects that have historically defined U.S. scientific leadership.

How we compute these odds
SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.
For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.
Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
