Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on February 25, 1944)

Happy birthday, Antonio Damasio! May your special day be packed with more delightful emotions than a neuroscientist studying chocolate-covered puppies. Your groundbreaking exploration of feelings has enlightened us all—notably proving Descartes wrong (sorry René!), by showing how crucial emotions really are in decision-making. We're still enjoying that ah-ha moment.

Your membership in renowned institutions like the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and Institute of Medicine reminds us you're officially brainier than most brains you've studied! Congrats on everything achieved so far—we're excited about what brilliant discoveries lie ahead. Celebrate joyfully, because as you taught us—emotions matter most!
