How strong of a person are you?

Please listen to this lecture and ask yourself a question. How do you rank in comparison?

I watched it and I'll be the first to tell you that I could not say what this man has said nor can I relate in any fashion to his experiences. It would be impossible for me to make a closure to life lecture such as his. We come from entirely two different worlds with entire difference experiences that no one would ever want to hear about and this transition hasn't given any signs of there being light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you Doobydew for sharing such an inspiring story!
This clip reminded me to be thankful for the present and the health I enjoy. Something to remember when we think we got it bad!

Thought provoking. Now if the lab would only direct its resources at solving problems like his. We waste too much time on politics, and ranking, and other things that deliver no value to anyone but ourselves.

I agree but we are just pawns that follow the rules established by management who know best. As far as "deliver no value to anyone but ourselves", well, I'd saw we need to deliver goods to ourselves and to the future of the nation and the world, such as alternative power and renewable energies making us totally "independent" from anyones valued resources that currently manipulating the word economy with is relative to people lives in all ways, owned by big business and corporate enterprise that could care less about YOU.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

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.

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

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!
