"The termination email was brief and to the point, with a thank you for your service,' Beachy, an emeritus biology professor at Washington University in St Louis, told Al Jazeera on Monday."
"This is the latest stupid move made by a president who continues to harm science and American innovation, Zoe Lofgren, the most senior member of the US House of Representatives' science committee, said in a statement."
"Will the president fill the NSB with MAGA loyalists who won't stand up to him as he hands over our leadership in science to our adversaries?"
The Trump administration dismissed all 22 members of the National Science Board, which advises the National Science Foundation. This action follows previous cuts to various federal agencies. Roger Beachy, a former board member, expressed concern over the future direction of research and education under a new board. Democratic lawmakers criticized the firings, questioning the administration's commitment to science and innovation. They fear the new board may be filled with loyalists who will compromise scientific integrity and leadership.
