Trump Admin Dismisses Entire National Science Board

President Donald Trump's administration terminated the entire 22-member National Science Board, which oversees the NSF and advises Congress on science policy, effective immediately with no reason given. Fired members Yolanda Gil and Keivan Stassun confirmed the move; the board historically included academics, national labs, non-profits and industry. The White House said the board's governing authorities may need updating and that NSF's work continues, while observers view the action as part of a broader effort to reshape independent federal science bodies by installing loyalists.
