Women at labs

    "The only national laboratories that earned a spot on the Woman Engineer list of top government employers were Los Alamos (No. 14) and Sandia National Laboratories (No. 17)."

    KRQE News:

    "Women at Sandia Labs allege discrimination in federal lawsuit"

  3. Really, a local liberal Albuquerque news headline as evidence of something? What a joke. Yeah, that's a great source of "facts." Aggrieved people can "allege" anything they want. Doesn't make it true. Whiners and crybabies (or in this case, crybullies) get all the press they want these days.

Career growth and opportunities for women in the workforce require much more effort than a recruitment "head count".

Agreed, "head count" is stupid. So, any suggestions as to policy? Or just a general gripe? How to balance credentials vs work availability vs contribution level, etc. for "equally qualified" employees? Propose some smart doable solutions, or join the ranks of the blatherers.

Dont want people like Napolitano or Nickie Dirks. Hire the honest and useful.

Try living up to your policies like equal pay for equal work. Oh right that isn't "doable." If you can hire women for less, why would you ever pay them fairly? A lot of women have left over that, but only the really capable ones.

You could also try advancing women who are qualified instead of just yes-women figure-heads, but that would require that you are willing to listen to women in management. We know how that works: doesn't she get it, she gets a big salary to go along with what her betters (men) want; she isn't supposed to ask questions or make suggestions or comments. Smart people don't want a job just to collect a salary, truly smart people want to be proud of the work they are a part of and they can get the salary elsewhere or take the pension and run.

So are these "doable" solutions or just blathering? Yes, yes, I know you management weenies don't take suggestions because if anyone else knew anything they would be managers, right?

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

By scooby
The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

LLNL un-diversity

By scooby
Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
