#PhysicsDay spotlight: As a high school student, Issa Tamer knew he liked science, but wasn’t sure what discipline to pursue. That all changed when at his part-time job setting up computers, he happened to see the Wikipedia page for the National Ignition Facility (NIF) on a customer’s monitor. He began reading up on NIF and was completely blown away. A general interest in science was replaced with a determination to someday work on powerful lasers at LLNL. Today Issa is a laser physicist at LLNL.
