"Trump on Friday 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."
Quite likely, the board will be replaced by loyalists. Even if not, the WH will decide which "science" gets funded and which orgs get the funding.
