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!

The realty of this was that Lieber was arrested by Trump for political reasons. Russia is having problems with China and ordered Trump to start creating issues, to hurt both China and the US. We also know that Trump is anti science and would be happy to jail US scientists. Biden should so the right thing and pardon Lieber and other US scientists that caught up in Trumps anti science crusade.
Just another witch-hunt.
How can LLNL and LANL fight late stage capitalism. If make this part of the lab outreach we can attract more young and diverse people,
and fight for a good cause. Charles Leiber was probably a good person before capitalism corrupted him.

How about just doing good science? You know, what you are paid for?
