âThe greatest ambassador for life on Earthâ: Tributes paid to David Attenborough on his 100th birthday
Naturalist says he has been âoverwhelmed by greetingsâ as milestone is marked with event at Royal Albert Hall David Attenborough said he had been âcompletely overwhelmed by birthday greetingsâ for his centenary on Friday and thanked wellwishers âmost sincerelyâ. The naturalist said he had hoped to celebrate his 100th birthday quietly. Instead, the milestone will be marked with a live event at the Royal Albert Hall broadcast on BBC One, featuring music from his programmes as well as stories and reflections from public figures and leading advocates for the natural world. In a recorded audio message shared on Thursday night, Attenborough said: âI had rather thought that I would celebrate my 100th birthday quietly, but it seems that many of you have had other ideas.

The thing about destroying NIH is NIHâs scale in medical research just dwarfs everyone else. For ex, in 2023 the American Cancer Society gave out $64.5 million worth of grants. Sounds big, right? But NIHâs budget was $49 billion. With a B. Kill NIH and the floor drops out of US science.
