Happy Birthday, Craig! Much like your groundbreaking polyoxometalate catalysts, you're clearly improving with every cycle. Your remarkable contributions to structural studies and solar energy conversion continue shining brighter each year—leading us from molecular mysteries into enlightening breakthroughs.May this birthday be fueled by laughter (and perhaps plenty of photochemical reactions!). After all, anyone who pioneers as many innovations as you do certainly deserves a cake illuminated not just by candles—but maybe also properly catalyzed for maximum fun. Here's celebrating another trip around the sun—and may your brilliance keep powering new discoveries well beyond any standard reaction norms!
