Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on March 19, 1943)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Mario Molina! You didn't just discover threats to Earth's ozone layer—you also discovered how cool chemistry could be. Thanks for making molecules and atmospheric science look so effortlessly stylish, earning Mexico its first Nobel Prize in Chemistry back in 1995.

Your groundbreaking research not only saved our planet but gave us all a reason to proudly say: "Chemistry isn't boring; it's heroic!" Here's hoping your birthday is filled with laughter, joy, and zero chlorofluorocarbons—because we know you'd prefer cake candles over aerosol sprays any day. Cheers to you on another orbit around the sun!
