President Donald Trump fired the entire National Science Board, the 22-person advisory panel that oversees the NSF, effective immediately. The move drew criticism from Democrats and comes amid ongoing budget-cut talk, potentially easing cuts to basic science funding and leaving the NSF without its key oversight ahead of a planned meeting and a forthcoming state‑of‑science report.
