Federal funding for scientific research was already in chaos. Reports indicate that the Trump administration has dismissed the entire National Science Board (NSB), which advises the president and Congress on the National Science Foundation (NSF). The NSF, crucial for the advancement of technologies like MRIs and cellphones, has been operating with minimal funding and encountering significant delays. In response, Zoe Lofgren, a leading Democrat on the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee, expressed criticism of the decision. She condemned the action as another detrimental move by the president against science and innovation, questioning whether the board will now be filled with loyalists unwilling to oppose damaging policies.
