The provost of The Catholic University of America is one of four people named on Monday, April 20, to serve on the National Science Board.
Dr. Aaron Dominguez, who is also a physics professor at the school, was appointed by President Donald Trump to the National Science Board for a six-year term.
The National Science Board is a committee established in 1950 to advise the White House and Congress on matters related to science and engineering. It is responsible for the policies of the National Science Foundation. Past board members include members of academia as well as executives in the technology fields.
Dominguez, a particle physicist, told CNA he was "really grateful" for the opportunity.
