U.S. President Donald Trump has fired all 24 members of the National Science Board, the body that oversees the National Science Foundation. Many science advocates see it as the latest step by his administration to erode—some would say destroy—the independence of the 76-year-old research agency. scim.ag/4eGM0YS

Trump fires every member of the U.S. National Science Foundation’s governing body

Dismissal of the National Science Board is widely seen as latest move to erase NSF’s independence
