"The NSB establishes policies for the National Science Foundation, the independent US agency responsible for apportioning about 25 percent of federal support towards research conducted by the country's colleges and universities."
"Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren called the latest decision a 'real bozo the clown move' in a statement, criticizing the president for harming science and American innovation."
The Trump administration terminated members of the National Science Board, which sets policies for the National Science Foundation. The NSF allocates about 25% of federal research funding. The board currently has 22 members, down from the maximum of 25. Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren criticized the decision, calling it harmful to science and innovation. She expressed concern over the president's ongoing attacks on the NSF. The status of the NSB's upcoming meeting on May 5 remains uncertain as further details are awaited.
