I was wondering who’s responsible for the ongoing demolition of NSF. Aside from Chief Management Officer Cheatham, whose resignation the staff union seeks, it appears to be 3 DOGE agents: Farritor (23), Terrell (25), and Riley (33). None appear to have any familiarity with scientific research.

Few support punitive funding cuts to colleges and universities - AP-NORC
Most of the public believes that colleges and universities make significant contributions to scientific and technological advancement and think their federal research funding should be maintained.
