Wheeler Allows Re-Appointments For SAB But Taps Controversial New Picks

摘要

Acting EPA chief Andrew Wheeler is allowing Obama-era appointees to the Science Advisory Board (SAB) to serve a second term, a change from his predecessor's policy that limited such re-appointments, though Wheeler is continuing to bar scientists who receive agency grants from serving and also named some controversial new SAB picks. Among the new selections are scientists who are skeptical of mainstream science on climate change as well as the risks posed by low doses of radiation exposure.
