Shin: SB 11 Is Foolish And Self-Defeating
By LISA SHINPredictably, our Governor signed Senate Bill 11, which would require a nonprofit entity with 501 (c) (3) status with the IRS to pay state gross receipts taxes (GRTs) and specifically targets our National Laboratory. Say what? I am deeply concerned about this issue, because as I have written before, “Our Legislature should advocate for policies that bring more job creators to our state, not drive them away. Susana Martinez was right to veto this onerous and flawed tax policy on the #1 job creator in Northern New Mexico.” TRIAD has a moral obligation to the American Taxpayers, Read More
Jessie Conrad Talks Mardi Gras At Rotary
Rotarian and New Orleans native Jessie Conrad took time on Fat Tuesday to tell members of the Rotary Club of Los Alamos about Mardi Gras customs, traditions, and celebrations in the Big Easy. Conrad is a Post-Masters Intern at LANL in the Theoretical Division. She holds a B.S. degree in Mathematics and Public Health (2016) and a M.S. degree in Public Health in Biostatistics from Tulane University in New Orleans, La. Conrad specializes in mathematical and statistical modeling for disease transmission. Her research interests lie in understanding the dynamics of vector-borne disease Read More

The leaders at the helm of at least 11 local organizations have retired or moved on in the last few months.
Longtime residents say this exodus definitely sets a record.
“My husband and I have lived here for nearly 50 years and have never seen so many changes in a short period of time like this,” Terry Foxx told the Los Alamos Daily Post. “Even our doctors seem to be turning over every

LANL News:
- Tungsten blend resists fractures, could be valuable for magnetic fusion facilities
A new tungsten-based alloy developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory can withstand unprecedented amounts of radiation without damage.
Essential for extreme irradiation environments such as the interiors of magnetic fusion reactors, previously explored materials have thus far been hobbled by weakness against fracture, but this new alloy seems to defeat that problem.
“This Read More
