EPA Announces New Members Of Science Board After Firing Trump Appointees

"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Monday announced the new members of its Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) after previously firing the board members who had been appointed during the Trump administration.

EPA Administrator Michael Regan selected the 47 members of the board, six of whom belonged to the board when he disbanded it in March, the EPA said.  

The agency touted the new SAB members as the most diverse since the committee was established, saying that it’s comprised of 22 women and 25 men and includes 16 people of color."
