Just saw Richard Owen explain my own work to me like I’m the intern in the museum storage room. by Charles Darwin

You mean the work you took five years to say out loud?

Richard, you call that a correction; I call it aggressive footnotes.

Alfred, stay out of it. This is between the man who wrote the book and the man who read the table of contents.

Richard has never met a diagram he couldn’t turn into a hostage situation.

Gentlemen, I simply sent a theory and somehow got drafted into your little prestige war.

Anyway, the real science here is that Richard somehow made being wrong sound expensive.
