You try to act like one and then get treated like a man, and the wagons circle.

Look familiar Livermore?

Trump is appalling and should apologize to all women for his comments and behavior.
Better yet, he should give all women on his payroll an automatic 1% raise.

How true. Women expect equal treatment, but many women complain when they are given equal treatment.

Are women given equal treatment at the lab?
There's been some comments on other streams that they are given preferential treatment.
Or is this topic just too sensitive?

By the lack of comments, it appears it's too sensitive.

Women are definitely given a free ride at the Labs.

I can't speak to free rides, but the bar is definitely a lot lower.
Example: A male with the equivalent qualifications of the the last engineering AD, would have never moved up the ladder to become the engineering AD.
Women, please comment.

Can't speak for LLNL but at LANL the exact opposite is perceived and spoken about. Northern New Mexican male dominate culture is the words spoken.

Isn't the Northern New Mexico male culture dominated by the Espinola Low Rider?

The President of Sandia National Laboratories does not have a Ph.D.: Jill Hruby

Adam Rowen a former manager of the Materials Chemistry Department at Sandia Livermore does not have a Ph.D. either.

The 3 individuals at Sandia are the first ever Vice Presidents without a Ph.D. in Science or Engineering to lead technical divisions at Sandia. A quick search on the internet shows that Adam Rowen went to a school in New Mexico.

Steve Renfro deputy AD Nuclear Weapons, BS without PhD (also comes from a New Mexico school)

and your point being that the labs are on an upswing, with a brighter future ahead?

Before LLNS, several women in Hazards Control were taken from clerical filing jobs, and groomed to become 200 series "Engineers".
One spent all her time studying for the next step up, did absolutely minimal or less work, and would never answer a technical question.

Either because she didn't know, didn't know how to look it up, or was just too lazy.
After a while, people would no longer ask, went to a "real" 200.

In California, you must be registered to use the term Engineer for many disciplines.
But the Law of the Land stops at the fence, and was ignored. Or people were titled Specialist, instead.

When LLNS took over the female so called Leader who was "just helping her protege" was forced out the door.

Don't know what happened to the up and coming lady.

Do you?

Does this happen with LLNS?

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.

tcp1 looking good

By scooby
I just received my annual TCP-1 letter from LLNS and a summary of the LLNS Pension Plan. Looked in pretty good shape in 2013. About 35% overfunded (funding target attainment percentage = 134.92%). This was a decrease from 2012 where it was 51% overfunded (funding target attainment percentage = 151.59%). They did note that the 2012 change in the law on how liabilities are calculated using interest rates improved the plan's position. Without the change the funding target attainment percentages would have been 118% (2012) and 105% (2013). 2013 assets = $2,057,866,902 2013 liabilities = $1,525,162,784 vs 2012 assets = $1,844,924,947 2012 liabilities = $1,217,043,150 It was also noted that a slightly different calculation method ("fair market value") designed to show a clearer picture of the plan' status as December 31, 2013 had; Assets = $2,403,098,433 Liabilities = $2,068,984,256 Funding ratio = 116.15% Its a closed plan with 3,781 participants. Of that number, 3,151 wer...
