I worked at Lawrence Livermore as an intern last summer. There were many people, including Post, that have worked at the lab for their entire lives. It was normal to sit next to scientists that were well beyond retirement age during lunch. While a career at the lab may not come with the many luxuries offered at other opportunities in Silicon Valley, it didn't seem bad either. People (including myself) were very happy to work there. Post, as well as many others, were a huge source of inspiration and taught me to do what I am passionate about in my career.
- hkmurakami 13y agoMy friend from college has been shuttling between MIT and Lawrence Livermore for a few years now (he does particle detection for the nuclear fusion experiments). Having talked to him at length, I'm convinced that while a career at the lab may not be as flashy as some of the best careers across the bay, it would be an absolutely wonderful way to live life and contribute to the world through science. I'm not nearly smart enough to work there, but boy do I look up to those who do!
