How dare them.
“Hooray for Oak Ridge National Laboratory!”
Well done ORNL. Reading the headline I assumed she was fired for rejecting GW BS. Glad to see that I was wrong. Oak Ridge is a historic site that played a major role in the development of the atomic bomb. It’s a fascinating place. While at UT Knoxville I attended a variety of meetings and conferences there in the 70s. Since it was built as a high security facility, driving into the site there were hardened positions along the road that used to be machine gun nests. Back then I was told the site had a tank that was still operational. Inside, the facility looked to be built of poured concrete and painted olive drab. Definitely a no nonsense place.
Good! Now let’s see her apply her ‘science’ in the kitchen.
“I’m delighted (and shocked) that the feds would actually fire scientists who spew climate change nonsense.”
Something suspicious here. It would be like someone in government saying that Ukraine is kicking Russia’s butt, so send more money there...and then getting fired for saying that.
“Not sure what an “Associate Scientist” is.”
Rose Abramoff is a postdoctoral fellow who studies the effect of global change on biogeochemical cycling in soils.
Postdoctoral scientists completed graduate school and received a Ph.D. They then are hired by a University professor to work in their lab for a few years to gain experience. Sort of an apprenticeship until you get a real job.
Or they wanted to make room for an even bigger wokester.
Yeah the headline had me for one sec then I saw NYT and ..... predictable.
I’m guessing a Starbucks instead of the kitchen.
Oops, gotta run. The glacier outside is receding rapidly.
I’m afraid I wouldn’t want any of her sammiches.
If she made you a sammich it would be vegan, on gluten free bread, soy milk to grink, and kale instead of lettuce.
Thanks for posting. This story made my day.
“fired on the flimsy excuse that he did personal stuff on government time.”
This is not a flimsy excuse. There are several laws on the books that specifically outlaw this activity. Government ethics training also instructs govt employees to avoid such activities. That someone was actually fired for this behavior is truly surprising. He must have been warned, perhaps multiple times, to refrain from such activity.
“That someone was actually fired for this behavior is truly surprising.”
Yep. It was a convenient excuse to fire him. If all federal employees were treated equally, most of the workforce would be fired for the same thing.
Prisons, torture—BAD!
She self-identified as ‘not a scientist’, by supporting that claptrap. God for ORNL.
Should be, Good for ORNL!
Color me shocked...
...for now.
Kantankerous klimate Karen kook gives krash kourse in krazy, gets kanned but kan’t understand why her korrupt behavior katapulted her to fame and kept her from her kozy job.
I doubt the he’s NOT leaving details out. Activism on the job != being a good scientist.
I think someone like Soros and or China pays these crackpots to sacrifice their careers and do stuff like this.
“Out of the lab & into the streets.”
Same old activist garbage. ‘Power to the people’, ‘the struggle never ends’, blah, blah, blah.
