Let's make this birthday one to remember.

83 years old (Born on March 29, 1942)

Happy Birthday, Joachim Heinrich Seelig! May your day resonate with joy stronger than the clearest NMR signal. Your groundbreaking work in physical chemistry and pioneering contributions to spectroscopy have left an indelible mark—much like those coffee stains on lab notes that somehow always led to brilliant discoveries.

From co-founding Basel's Biozentrum to inspiring countless students (and perhaps confusing a few along the way), you've shown us all how science can be both rigorous and delightfully entertaining. Here's wishing you another year filled with successful experiments, minimal spectral noise, and plenty of laughter-filled moments outside the magnetic field. Cheers!
