Let's make this birthday one to remember.

67 years old (Born on February 07, 1958)

Happy Birthday, Matt Ridley! May your celebrations evolve faster than the Red Queen herself and be filled with more joy than decoding an entire genome. From enlightening us about genes and human nature to making complex science accessible (and even fun!), you've truly mastered the art of nurturing our curiosity.

Your insightful contributions as a journalist, author, and editor have left readers smarter—and occasionally scratching their heads in delightful confusion. Here's hoping this year brings you continued success, endless inspiration for new books, and perhaps fewer debates on nature versus nurture at birthday parties. Cheers to another brilliant orbit around the sun!
