In a move sparking widespread concern among the scientific community, former President Donald Trump has ousted the entire board of the National Science Board, the governing body that oversees the allocation of billions of dollars in federal funding for scientific research in the United States. The National Science Board, which advises the President and Congress on matters of science policy, has long been a stalwart advocate for evidence-based decision-making and the advancement of scientific knowledge. The sudden and unprecedented removal of the board's members raises questions about the potential impact on the nation's scientific research agenda and the integrity of the decision-making process. As the Trump administration continues to face scrutiny over its handling of science policy, this move is likely to fuel concerns about the politicization of science and the erosion of trust in the scientific community.
