The Many Faces of Me!

The past few years here have put me through quite a range of emotions.

And You Should be too!

Doctor Strangelove, Doug Roberts, Pat the Dog, Brad Holian, and Pinky and THE Brain are my heroes.

Doc Strange's post using the image of Calvin Peeing (as above) inspired me to "mask up" as Masked Calvin and do a little blogging of my own.

I'm hoping some of my peers will speak up. We've been hearing from old-school who feel pushed out or disrespected, but a lot of us are young and are at LANL for a reason, and it isn't because we have no other offers. We are here because we want to do the work we can do best here, with the people that are here (for the moment).

I for one, want LANL to succeed. I want the people trying to bring LANL down to fail. There are many suspects, from the Hawks (the current administration, the Nuclear Navy, god knows who else) to the Doves (Liberals who dislike/fear big science and especially nuclear weapons).

I came here to do my life's work, my research. I believe there is a lot I can do to make the world a better place and that LANL could be the very best place to do it. I'm fed up with the whining I hear and the wing-nuts (Doug's term) who just want to see us torn down.

I'm pissed and you should be too! I want to hear from the rest of students, PostDocs, and early-career staff who want to see some change and are ready to stand up to make it happen.
