The NSB advises the president and Congress on the National Science Foundation (NSF), which has already been funding research at historically low levels and has seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/d41586-026-01287-0\">significant delays<\/a> in doling out that funding. The NSF has been fundamental in helping develop technology used in MRIs, cellphones, and it even helped get Duolingo get off the ground.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">In a statement, <a href=\"https:\/\/democrats-science.house.gov\/news\/press-releases\/ranking-member-lofgren-reacts-to-latest-trump-scheme-to-undermine-science\">Zoe Lofgren<\/a>, the ranking Democrat on the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee, said:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<blockquote class=\"duet--article--blockquote ewrhy30 _1xwtict9\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup ewrhy38 _1xwtict1\">\u201cThis is the latest stupid move made by a president who continues to harm science and American. The NSB is apolitical. It advises the president on the future of NSF. It unfortunately is no surprise a president who has attacked NSF from day one would seek to destroy the board that helps guide the Foundation. Will the president fill the NSB with MAGA loyalists who won\u2019t stand up to him as he hands over our leadership in science to our adversaries?
