Hundreds of National Science Foundation (NSF) employees have publicly voiced concerns over what they describe as politically motivated and legally questionable actions by the Trump administration.
Staffers have signed letters of dissent, petitioned Congress, and accused the administration of politicizing the agency, impeding scientific research, and enacting retaliatory firings and grant cuts. Reports indicate that over 1,600 NSF-funded research projects have been halted as a result of these policies. The dissent has spread to other federal science agencies, reflecting widespread unrest among government scientists.
Employees fear retaliation but are calling for congressional investigation and protection of scientific integrity.
