NSF stands by new Antarctic contractor despite watchdog concerns
Original: NSF backs choice of new Antarctic contractor despite concerns by government watchdog and researchers
The U.S. National Science Foundation says it will proceed with its selection of a new contractor to run its Antarctic research operations, even though a government watchdog and some researchers raised concerns about the decision. Critics question whether the choice best serves U.S. science in Antarctica, while the agency maintains the contractor is fit for the job.
Why now: The agency's decision to override watchdog and researcher objections has drawn scrutiny in the science community.
