65 years old (Born on February 22, 1960)
Happy birthday, Eric Jacobsen! Wishing our favorite catalyst expert a reaction-packed day filled with positivity—and plenty of cake-induced activation energy. Your groundbreaking work on chemical and physical catalysts has not only transformed the organic chemistry landscape but also proven definitively that Harvard professors are indeed noble gas-free (though always quite noble)!May your celebrations today be as efficient and selective as your legendary catalytic processes—minus any undesirable side reactions. Cheers to another year of pushing scientific boundaries, inspiring countless chemistry enthusiasts, and baffling friends by casually dropping terms like "enantioselectivity" at parties. Stay forever young in spirit, fueled by curiosity (and perhaps extra caffeine).
