#99! A nice palindrome/repeat of a number.
As always, thanks to editor Alex Massey for the sciensplanation. (Is that a viable portmanteau?)

I also recommend in the same issue Michael J. DeLuca’s “Editor’s Note: On Having a Kid in the Climate Apocalypse,” a heartwrenching, yet heartwarming account of the trials of conception to the joys of parenthood and speculation on how his child might face the world. Now available to read online for free.
