Heather and Sandia

Heather may be the only reason Sandia Corp lost their jobs.

While the Wilson scandal may not have helped L-M any in the SNL re-bid, however it is a lower order factor when compared to having the low impact of Hruby lead the bid team.

LOL@10:42.

NNSA directly approved of Hruby (or any other director) being appointed as lab director and she immediately prioritized a settlement with them on the Heather Wilson scandal.

In 2016 Sandia got the top rating available, which was obviously substantially higher than the other NNSA labs and also a higher than SNL had received in several years.

Interesting, but totally irrelevant, points.

Hruby was elevated to director because Moniz wanted a female lab director, and not for any reason related to her talents or background.

It should be clear to all at this point that there is no correlation between some random number on some random year's evaluation and success in a lab contract competition. What it more likely says is that SNL was the best in class, and the rest of the class was composed of total losers.

What you are saying is ugly, hurtful and should be illegal. Free speech is not free when it comes at the expense of marginalized groups such as women. I bet you are only openly saying this now because Trump is in office. You should be ashamed.

Don't melt 11:28AM.

Where's your evidence that Hruby had low impact when SNL received its highest rating in years during Hruby's first full year as lab directory and DOE/NNSA received nothing but good publicity from her hire?

7:24 PM may be on to something and Hruby was ok as a "directory" and not a Director.

and yet either way, she led the lab to its highest rating in years during her first full year.
