While the researchers were asked to continue working for a few more weeks in the labs they run at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, multiple sources familiar with the situation say their layoff notices have not been revoked.

“Most people believe we were reinstated because we got back to the office,” one of the scientists, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told CBS News in a message.

This means they still face termination from the federal government on June 2, alongside the thousands of other workers who were put on leave after Kennedy’s layoffs were announced last month.

“These 11 labs have about 100 staff, mainly young trainees whose careers will be severely disrupted,” one scientist familiar with the situation told CBS News.
