@tubetime my understanding is that the biden administration didn't appoint anyone new there, so this is a "they both suck (and happen to collaborate)" kind of thing
it's really sad. besides being excellent investigators, they're also excellent communicators to the general public, publishing numerous videos on their YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@USCSB
@whitequark@tubetime This is VERY incorrect. The only Trump appointment left a while ago. Biden appointed enough people to bring them up to normal members and gave them funding to help clear their backlog.
I can look up the Chemical and Engineering News articles on it if you'd like.
