NASA is merging all of its science advisory committees into one committee in the name of “efficiency.” These committees cover wildly different scientific fields so what I hear is “NASA isn’t going to care about science anymore so we don’t need these” - ThreadSky

I was wondering if this would be the impact when I got the email. I'm hoping HQ can find a way to keep some level of oversight. The RIF targeting NASA planning and strategy is even more worrying given this change.

This would be the APAC astrophysics advisory committee (and its counterparts in other areas?)

Yup

‘Cause planetary scientists have the exact same needs as cosmologists…

At best that moves all the politicking to off stage behind the remaining committee members.

That’s exactly what it seemed like to me too. Why bother with an advisory committee if you don’t give a fuck anymore?

I’m so sorry, Sara. I hope this turns out to be a speed bump and not a brick wall. I have so much respect for you and all those in your field. Love and ➕ energy to you all. ❤️
