Trump fires entire National Science Board, reshapes science funding
Original: Viewpoint: After firing the entire National Science Board, Trump reshapes funding initiatives. Here’s the good and the bad.
President Trump has dismissed the entire National Science Board, the governing body that oversees the National Science Foundation, and is moving to reshape federal science funding priorities. Commentators are weighing the consequences, pointing to potential benefits such as sharper focus on national priorities, alongside warnings about politicising research funding and undermining independent scientific oversight in the United States.
Why now: The wholesale dismissal of a major science oversight body and its implications for US research funding are causing alarm and debate in the scientific community.
