Read the quotes attributed to her in the story. She sounds like a teenager, not the senior government official in charge of a multibillion dollar nuclear weapons manufacturing facility.

She has a Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from West Virginia University and a Master’s in environmental engineering from Clemson. Whatever gave you the idea she's a woman in science? Your comment is unfair towards all women scientists working at LANL.

A woman in politics, maybe. “That a nice, strong hardy budget,” Lebak said. “Our friends in Congress are doing their work was we speak... it’s a good solid budget, it’s strong, and we have tons of scope to do.” She does sound like the former governor of the great state of Alaska.

The story of Dee Kotla vs. UC/LLNL is "unfair" to women too:

And misogyny in the Labs, alive and well. Another reason I told my daughter she'd be better off working elsewhere.

Yes, all you politically correct dopes, is it in fact true that women managers in science can be ineffective, poorly educated, unprepared for their positions, blatantly trivial in approach, and just plain incompetent, just like men. Are we not allowed to say so?

Yes, well, and when you encounter one of those numerous "ineffective, poorly educated, unprepared for their positions, blatantly trivial in approach, and just plain incompetent" dudes who manage LANL, do you go: "Men in science!" ? Why not?

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.

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...

Rumor corner

LLNS may have excluded the wrong people in last VSSOP? The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills. ULM are now thinking that in the future, job categories and functional areas will have to be re-defined. The next VSSOP/ISP will be based on the new categories and functional areas. The questions I have are: 1) Why didnt they think of that before the transition. It seems like their style is “change things as you go”. Planning is out the window! 2) Who will give input on the new changes? The next RIF apparently is going to be more lucrative than the VSSOP. Depending on the length of employment, a RIFed person, not only gets their 1 week pay per year of service but also from 30 to 120 days notice, essentially 30 to 120 days pay. Please feel free to comment on the rumors or add new ones you actually heard.
