Let's make this birthday one to remember.

92 years old (Born on May 29, 1932)

Happy Birthday, Paul R. Ehrlich! May your celebration be as lively and vibrant as the debates sparked by "The Population Bomb." Your bold predictions have kept us all on our toes—sometimes nodding in agreement, sometimes scratching our heads—but always thinking deeply about humanity's impact on Earth.

From stirring up controversy to inspiring generations of environmentalists with works like "Biology and Society" and "The Race Bomb," you've never shied away from tough conversations. Here's hoping this birthday brings you fewer bombshells (population or otherwise) and more cake slices than population graphs. Cheers to another year of fearless advocacy!
