Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on February 19, 1943)

Happy Birthday, Sir Tim Hunt! Today we celebrate not just your age—but that marvelous moment when you chased down those elusive protein molecules and politely convinced them to reveal the secrets of cell duplication. Honestly, it's impressive how gracefully you've handled microscopic drama.

From winning the Nobel Prize in 2001 for fundamentally deepening our understanding of biology—to being knighted by Her Majesty and awarded a Royal Medal—your career has consistently "duplicated" brilliance. Wishing you endless laughter, continued insight into life's tiniest mysteries—and importantly—a celebration free from any unruly proteins replicating themselves uncontrollably on your birthday cake!
