Happy birthday, Fred! Hope your celebration is as electrifying and energetic as those laser beams you've been firing at thermonuclear plasmas. No matter how many birthdays pass by, you always seem to keep it positively charged—just like the ions in your experiments!Your brilliant career unraveling alternative energy secrets has inspired us all. Clearly, not everyone spends their days casually turning electron and ion beams into groundbreaking science breakthroughs. Enjoy another stellar orbit around the sun, Fred—and remember: you're aging like fine plasma—hotter and brighter every year!
