The Trump administration disbands the U.S. National Science Board, all members are dismissed

Golden Finance reports that on April 28th, local time April 27th, the Trump administration dissolved the U.S. National Science Board, dismissing over 20 members all at once. The board was established in 1950, responsible for guiding the operation of the U.S. National Science Foundation and advising the President and Congress on science and engineering policy. Board members typically serve six-year terms and mostly come from academia, research institutions, and industry. Two dismissed members stated that the relevant decision took effect on the 24th of this month but did not provide specific reasons. The White House responded that the board’s relevant authority might need updating and emphasized that the work of the National Science Foundation will “continue and remain unaffected.”(Dongxin News Agency)
