Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on January 14, 1953)

Happy Birthday, Rodney! May your day be filled with laughter and joy—just like the countless industrial water systems you've effortlessly kept crystal clear. Your groundbreaking invention TRASAR didn't just win you a Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award; it also made sure that "going green" wasn't only about envy from fellow chemists!

Here's to another year of brilliant discoveries and perfectly balanced chemical equations. Thanks for making waves (and then expertly treating them) in chemistry circles everywhere. Keep inspiring us all by turning complex problems into elegantly simple solutions—and remember: age is merely an oxidation number you're handling exceptionally well!
