Let's make this birthday one to remember.

30 years old (Born on May 07, 1994)

Happy Birthday, Taylor Wilson! From fusing atoms at fourteen to dazzling judges at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in 2010, you've always had a knack for making explosive impressions—thankfully without any radioactive fallout. Your groundbreaking achievements have inspired countless young scientists (and terrified parents everywhere who now worry their kids might build fusion reactors in the garage).

As you celebrate another orbit around the sun, may your brilliance continue to shine brighter than a nuclear reaction. Here's hoping this year brings even more awards and discoveries—and fewer concerned neighbors calling about mysterious glowing lights from your lab window!
