Trump removes entire board of US science advisory panel officials

The National Science Board has been dissolved by the White House, with all of its members being let go. The decision was made by President Trump.

According to reports, the board’s dissolution is part of a broader effort to reduce funding for various scientific organizations and agencies. The National Science Foundation (NSF) is among those affected, as it relies on the board for guidance and oversight.

The White House has not provided any explanation or warning for the sudden change. Some lawmakers have expressed concern about the move, with Ranking Member of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, Lofgren, stating that it is a “latest Trump scheme to undermine science.”

The news has sparked widespread criticism from scientists and experts in the field, who argue that the board’s dissolution will have far-reaching consequences for scientific research and innovation.

Details about the board’s activities and responsibilities are not yet clear. However, its dissolution marks a significant shift in the administration’s approach to science policy.

The White House has declined to comment on the matter further.
