Great to visit Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on Monday. With vital contributions to our weapons modernization, explosives, and AI capabilities, Livermore is a leader in science for our nuclear stockpile, including the National Ignition Facility, the first facility in history to reach ignition!
Congratulations to Raspberry Simpson, a Lawrence Fellow in Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s NIF&PS Directorate, for being named a Kavli Fellow by National Academy of Sciences. She and other outstanding young scientists were invited to the recent NAS Kavli Frontiers of Science meeting. l8r.it/Hfe7
Here’s the back story on how those optics used in the #LSST are “a testament to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s world-leading expertise in large optics, built on decades of experience in the construction of the world’s largest and most powerful laser systems.” lasers.llnl.gov/news/worlds-la…
Congratulations to LLNL Lawrence Fellow Raspberry Simpson who was named a National Academy of Sciences Kavli Fellow. As a new Kavli Fellow, Simpson participated recently in the annual NAS Kavli Frontiers of Science symposium in Irvine, California. Learn more:
