“Doing Science for Fun and National Security”

Alan HurdPresented by:
Alan Hurd, Group Leader, Los Alamos National Laboratory

About the topic:
people want to make a difference. And they want to enjoy their careers. For some, financial impact in industry satisfies both needs; for others, teaching the next generation is the answer. In the post-9-11 era, hundreds of early career scientists and engineers discover each year that national security research at the national labs is a rewarding career path offering great intellectual diversity, challenge, and excitement. This presentation will discuss the mission of Los Alamos National Lab in the current world order and how one physicist came to appreciate national security research.

Optional box lunch for $25 may be purchased at the TMS Conference Registration Desk. Tickets will NOT be sold at the door.
