Let's make this birthday one to remember.

70 years old (Born on January 04, 1955)

Happy Birthday, Mark Reed! Another quantum leap around the sun—though we're still trying to figure out if your age is quantized or continuous. Your groundbreaking work on quantum dots and molecular electronics has left us all positively charged with admiration (and slightly confused—but in a good way!). With over 170 publications under your belt, you've certainly mastered the art of turning complex physics into elegant prose.

Here's wishing you another year filled with brilliant discoveries, endless inspiration—and perhaps fewer electrons misbehaving at inconvenient times. May this birthday be as timelessly fascinating as your research contributions have been!
