Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on January 29, 1947)

Happy Birthday, Linda! May your special day be filled with delightful aromas—after all, who better to appreciate the sweet smell of birthday cake than the Nobel laureate who unraveled the mysteries behind our noses? Your groundbreaking work on olfactory receptors has truly made scents out of science!

From decoding genes controlling mammalian smell to earning a Nobel Prize alongside Richard Axel in 2004, you've sniffed out success at every turn. Here's hoping this year brings even more discoveries and joyful moments worth savoring. Keep inspiring us all—and remember: age is just another receptor gene waiting to be activated!
