Well, she knew what she was getting into.

(Bob Harvard's decision in 2017 seems ever more prescient.)

Godspeed Bill Bookless.

One more top official "spending more time with their family." Trump likes big numbers, and he has certainly achieved this one; more turnover at the top than any other president in history! Congratulations, Donny boy.

Lisa Gordon-Hagerty “was told to resign by Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette.”

https://www.google.com/amp/s/news.yahoo.com/amphtml/trump-administration-fires-three-agency-161249005.html

According to “Defense Daily”, “Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette kept close tabs on then-National Nuclear Security Administration boss Lisa Gordon-Hagerty for months, sending chaperones to her meetings with Congress and monitoring her personal calendar before abruptly demanding her resignation”

Good riddance.
I don't have any confidence (either) in her abilities to work that position after a tweet rage.

Sounds like Brouillette was more worried about her snagging his job than anything else!

Brouillette did the right thing. I’m sure he was being undermined by all the former Livermore managers. Hopefully Biden will get rid of all of them. At Livermore it’s common for managers to do a lot of behind closed doors conniving. I don’t know how that plays in DC. This is why the NNSA administrators wanted fixed terms, not political appointments, so they could continue their ways.

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.

Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem

By scooby
From the Huffington Post Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/work-words_n_5159868.html?utm_hp_ref=business&ir=Business When we replace a specific task with a vague expression, we grant the task more magnitude than it deserves. If we don't describe an activity plainly, it seems less like an easily achievable goal and more like a cloudy state of existence that fills unknowable amounts of time. A fog of fast and empty language has seeped into the workplace. I say it's time we air it out, making room for simple, concrete words, and, therefore, more deliberate actions. By striking the following 26 words from your speech, I think you'll find that you're not quite as overwhelmed as you thought you were. Count the number that LLNLs mangers use.  touch base circle back bandwidth - impactful - utilize - table the discussion deep dive - engagement - viral value-add - one-sheet deliverable - work product - incentivise - take it to the ...
