Trump admin fires independent board overseeing the National Science Foundation

7 hours ago

Trump administration terminated all 22 members of the National Science Board, an independent advisory board for the National Science Foundation (NSF), effective immediately.
The board, created in 1950, advises on science policy, approves major funding, and guides NSF's future; its dismissal may facilitate proposed budget cuts and changes to NSF.
Critics, including dismissed members and a Democratic senator, view the move as an attack on science, innovation, and fundamental research, potentially harming future scientific training.
