Let's make this birthday one to remember.

83 years old (Born on May 31, 1941)

Happy Birthday, Dr. Louis Ignarro! Thanks to your groundbreaking research on nitric oxide, we can safely say you're someone who truly knows how to make chemistry feel exciting—even life-changing! Your Nobel Prize-winning breakthrough in physiology not only advanced medical science but reminded us all that discovering gases could be far more exhilarating than just inflating balloons.

Your years as an inspiring professor at UCLA's School of Medicine have ignited countless minds and shaped brilliant scientists. Today, let's celebrate a lifetime dedicated entirely to molecules we'd never thought twice about—but now can't live without. Nitric oxide blows birthday candles better anyway—cheers!
