Why members of two of EPA's influential science advisory committees were let go
Briefly

Members of the EPA's Science Advisory Board and the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee were recently removed as part of a reset aimed at aligning scientific guidance with the agency's core mission. This move follows a series of executive orders from President Trump that could significantly reshape federal policy, including climate and energy. Former members expressed disappointment but noted that such changes were anticipated, reflecting a pattern seen during Trump's prior presidency when similar dismissals occurred. The EPA aims to address politicization from previous administrations with this adjustment.
