I'll admit it, I google myself every now and again. Who doesn't!? And I love google's search results. I hope they never change.

“Spiders are amazing animals who far too often get a bad rap because of hysterical and misleading public media”

@MarcBekoff writes in @PsychToday about why we have an unfortunate relationship with these Eight Legged Wonders!

@AFProbert @safabric @greystonebooks Or ‘zees’ as they call them over there 😊

[James O'Hanlon @jamohanlon]

How do you feel about spiders? Whatever the answer this book is for you! Thanks to the wonderful team at @greystonebooks Eight Legged Wonders is now on shelves in the US and UK! 🕷🕸😍

[James O'Hanlon @jamohanlon]

@AFProbert @safabric @greystonebooks Same book but with more zeds! Thanks 😊

@BooksFaunaverse Wooo! What a find! :)

[Dr Tom Carruthers @SciTJC]

For those in #SciComm who realise, as we do, that there’s very few awards in Australia to recognise great SciComm by SciComm pros - now’s your chance!

Announced today: the @auscicomm SciComm Awards now have several categories to start to fill this gap.

@MichaelTThorn Wow! And its only around for another few weeks, I dont think I'll make it to Sydney in time unfortunately :( This one will have to stay on the bucket list for now

[James O'Hanlon @jamohanlon]

@HenricusNature @nvolpewild @CitSciOZ Golden Orb Weaver, looks like a Nephila edulis?

[James O'Hanlon @jamohanlon]

@LouStreeti52747 Yeah I guess click bait headlines can exist in print form too!

[James O'Hanlon @jamohanlon]

@bluecology Ha! To be fair I’ve seen worse headlines 😄 good news is that Silk and Venom gets released across North America next year! Hopefully we can tackle these stories head on 😁

[James O'Hanlon @jamohanlon]

@jjbw Who actually wants this???

[UQ News @UQ_News]

James O'Hanlon’s new book 'Silk and Venom: The Incredible Lives of Spiders' is a call to celebrate spiders instead of focusing on the surprise and terror they can evoke.

Read #UQ venom researcher @insect_venomics's book review in @ConversationEDU: https://t.co/jcaFNcs2Fp

[James O'Hanlon @jamohanlon]

@insect_venomics Thanks a million! If we cross paths in the near future I owe you a coffee and I will definitely pick your brains about all things venom!

[James O'Hanlon @jamohanlon]

More importantly though, any chance @jimeoin can confirm??? Is there a musical link between my two favourite things in the world? Jimeoin and Spiders? 😮😮😮
