Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on January 30, 1949)

Happy Birthday, Peter Agre! From uncovering aquaporins and snagging that Nobel Prize to steering the ship as president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science—you've certainly showed us chemistry isn't just formulas, it's also a bit of wizardry.

And let’s not forget your brief flirtation with politics; though you didn't chase after that Senate seat in 2007, we're pretty sure you'd have brought some serious elemental humor into Congress. May your special day be filled with joy, laughs, and perhaps another Eureka moment—but hopefully nothing explosive (we trust you know what you're doing). Cheers!
