“The future of the National Science Foundation is in question after a slew of scientists who serve on the National Science Board, an independent body that promotes the progress of American science and provides advice to the U.S. president and Congress, were abruptly dismissed from their positions Friday by the White House.

All 22 current members of the board, which establishes policies for the National Science Foundation, were terminated, according to Yolanda Gil, a research professor of computer science and spatial sciences and principal scientist at USC Information Sciences Institute, who has served on the board since 2024.”

With Trump purging the National Science Board, and the NSF director seat vacant, scientists warn of a shift away from fundamental research toward a narrow focus on AI.

The right’s war on science, facts, and the truth continues.

Trump’s dumbing-down of America continues.

The Left Wingers are anti-science.
They believe that Man is causing the climate to change.
But the Earth's climate has never been static.
It has always been changing.
They also do not understand natural immunity from a virus.
And they do not understand XX and XY chromosomes.

It's always funny when a leftist whines about science when they can't explain what a woman is or when human life begins

Got it.

Ask Jones two questions, what's a woman and when life begins.

In fact ask any of them, it's funny watching them stumble and bumble

They will do or say anything to get that $1.5T NGD boondoggle turned back on. Hopefully it got turned off?

Not all was fully Stolen yet under the auto-pen? So sad.
