NASA has suddenly closed its main-scientific office, with 2 other offices firing 23 employees. The action of March 10 leaves the agency without how to feed independent science advice for its top leadership, at a time when it is talking about sending astronauts on the moon and developing a plan to move forward on Mars.
Trump team ordered a huge government la-off: how can science rent
Acting NASA administrator Janet Petro said in an agency-wide e-mail that “we are looking at it as an opportunity to shape our workforce”. All American federal agencies before submitting a plan to take the la-off of how they will eliminate employees, in the name of improving efficiency as part of a radical downsing of a federal government’s federal government led by US President Donald Trump and his advisor Elon Musk.
These are NASA’s first firing since taking over by Trump, and he has taken a separate pattern for those in other federal agencies in the last few weeks. NASA was spared from the wide-off-less job security people of probationary employees for unknown reasons as they have been in their positions for less than two years-seen in other agencies. This step makes NASA the first agency under the current Trump administration, which starts the required ‘deduction (RIFs) soon compared to several supervisors, for career employees for pre-Khali career employees. It is not clear whether other agencies may follow NASA’s leadership.
The office chief scientist closed by NASA has its own offices; Office of technology, policy and strategy; And the access branch of diversity, equity, inclusion and diversity and equal opportunity of your office. The last of these is the direct result of cutting Trump’s 20 January Executive Order To reduce the initiative of diversity, equity and inclusion in the federal government. But the reason for the closure of the other two offices is not as clear.
Think about the future
Both offices advise the head of NASA, or administrator on scientific and technical matters. Petro is filling the post as long as Trump’s nominated, billionaire and private astronaut Jered Isaid – a friend of Kasturi – is confirmed by the American Senate.
NASA adopted the diversity. Trump’s Dei Pauj is barely killing space scientists
Both offices are unique that they provide ways to add strategy to NASA departments and divisions. With his shutdown, “you will lose strategic thinking”, a staff member of NASA said that the structure of the offices is familiar, but did not want to be nominated for fear of vengeance.
