I will tolerate recurrent laryngeal nerve slander no longer! It's actually the result of several elegant solutions to difficult problems in embryology, and the length is a non-issue. A 🧵 1/13

There is no reason to colonize mars. Nothing could happen to earth that would make it less habitable than mars.
