PhD versus non-PhD behavior

Image
By scooby

 Within LLNS, is there a difference between PhD and non-PhD acceptable behavior? If there are differences, how does this impact the acceptance or understanding of "Me Too" concerns at LLNL? What PhD scope of conduct is allowable and accepted with LLNS that is clearly not allowable or accepted among non-PhDs employed by LLNS?

The fraction of PhDs at the labs is dropping, it is what 15% at this point. Wait a few more years and this question will be irrelevant.

A reasonable answer but to the wrong question.

If the labs lose their PhD's they will be high tech factories with no research. I'm glad I served when they were world-renowned scientific institutions responsible for world-class research.

Non-PhD is now a protected class and it is a federal hate crime to discriminate against someone on the basis of educational status. And for good reason, math and science are but mere products of White privilege and oppression owing to their insistence on the "right" answer, whatever that means. What you deride as a lowering of standards is actually great progress in social justice. We will win the next world war based on our strength of diversity and inclusion. The enemy doesn't stand a chance.

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.

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...

Rumor corner

By scooby
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.
