Happy Birthday, Robert! May your day crystallize into something as brilliant and perfectly structured as the proteins you've spent a lifetime studying. Your groundbreaking work illuminating photosynthesis has truly shed light on science—literally!From Cardiff to Duisburg-Essen, your journey continues inspiring generations of scientists worldwide. Nobel Prize aside (though that's quite an achievement!), it's clear you're still capturing life's best moments at atomic resolution. Here's hoping this birthday is filled with laughter brighter than chlorophyll fluorescence and memories more stable than protein crystals.
Cheers to another year of discovery—and may all your experiments yield results worth celebrating!
