“We Are Argonne” tells the lab’s story through the eyes of our best storytellers: the diverse members of our world-class community of talent, our unsung heroes.
The brief videos in this ongoing series showcase our people and how they contribute to achieving the lab’s goals in scientific research; how they support the lab’s culture of excellence, collaboration, recognition, and reward; and how they exemplify the lab’s efforts to foster diversity, equity, and inclusion. As you’ll see, their commitment to supporting and carrying out our science mission comes shining through.
“Great and entertaining”—that’s how Stephen Barrigher characterizes his job as an instrumentation technician at Argonne.
His work enables his colleagues to remain safe in radiation environments. He also values the extensive pre-experiment planning he and his colleagues carry out so everyone knows what needs to take place and when, which results in something we all want—work-life balance.
