Happy Birthday, Robert Martin Groves! May your day be filled with statistically significant amounts of cake and laughter. From expertly counting heads at the Census Bureau to skillfully guiding Georgetown University as Provost, you've always known how to make numbers—and people—count.

Your dedication has inspired countless students and colleagues alike; rumor has it even spreadsheets smile when you walk into a room. Here's hoping this year brings fewer margins of error and more confidence intervals filled with joy. Keep making data delightful—you truly are one standard deviation above the rest!
