US Science Setback and Global Competitiveness

Over 2,000 scientists have expressed concern regarding the termination of the National Science Board (NSB) by the Trump administration. In a letter to Congress, they highlighted the negative impact on America's global competitiveness.

This crucial scientific advisory board, crucial for guiding national science policy, was completely disbanded last month, shaking the scientific community.

The scientists warned that the absence of the NSB could hinder the United States' capacity to effectively compete with international rivals, particularly China, in scientific advancements and technological developments.
