Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on July 14, 1948)

Happy Birthday, Kenneth! May your day be filled with more excitement than a chloroplast thylakoid membrane under sunlight. Your groundbreaking research has illuminated biology classrooms everywhere—students now know exactly who to thank (or blame) when memorizing photosynthesis pathways.

At Brown University, you've inspired countless minds and authored works that make molecular biology seem almost as thrilling as binge-watching Netflix. Here's hoping this year brings you even greater discoveries—and perhaps fewer late nights grading papers. Keep shining bright like the membranes you've studied; after all these years in science, you're still positively charged!

Cheers to another orbit around the sun!
