"U.S. President Donald Trump yesterday fired all 24 members of the National Science Board (#NSB), the body that oversees the National Science Foundation (#NSF). 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."

Update. See the Open Letter to Congress Demanding the Restoration of the National Science Board.
https://www.standupforscience.net/nasem-letter-to-congress/

The letter is hosted by Stand Up For Science. It was initially signed by “elected members of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine [#NASEM], in their personal capacities” and is open to supporting signatures from the public.

I just signed it and hope you will sign too.
