Your new website if fabulous! Pleasing to the eye and easy to navigate. Can’t wait for Quirk to come out – hope you are able to keep your blog going, even during your upcoming publicity tours. But you have a following who will surely understand and be patient!

I loved your book “The Well Dressed Ape” and have been enjoying your web site Human Nature. I was wondering if you had any comments about the New Years Eve incidence, one of which were the Red Winged Blackbirds that fell out of the sky. There were other mass deaths as time passed and I’m not sure I entirely believe what the News has reported about this. I would trust your theory on what caused so many birds around the world to have died around this time frame. Thankyou
Enjoyed your presentation today on the Washington Post website, downloaded Quirk as a result. thanks
Great! It works! Thank you!

Hannah! Received the copy of the book — and absolutely love it. My mother can’t put it down. You did a dynamite job and I know Marc (Caron) appreciates the wonderful way you wrote about us in the chapter of Impulsivity… We are truly appreciative of your hard work and that you did a bit more to further the public’s understanding of basic science and the importance of animal research! Thanks again — and please keep in touch. (You should come and visit us in our new facility sometime!)

Great work, read an interview on aol and will definitely be getting the book. You mentioned that animals do not develop an affinity or empathic response to other species. In my experience this is not true. When a relationship is formed between two different animals of two different species, for what ever reason, there is definitely an empathic relationship. Humans have a tendency, or ability to see a broader picture and so have a response to road kill. Animals do not develop feelings for animals they do not personally know, so there is no response to road kill. However if a goat saw a sheep it knew in life dead, or a rabbit saw a guinea pig it knew in life dead, or a cat saw a dog, etc, etc. there would be a reaction. You would care about a dead mouse you found on your doorstep. Would you have cared as much before you met your first mouse and developed a personal relationship with it? I would also say that once an animal has an opportunity to develop a relationship with another species, it will see other members of that species differently. We know this because we have learned of the dangers of releasing once wild and then tamed animals back to a natural habitat. They lose their fear of humans, dogs, and cats. Just food for thought. Thank you for your work. I love the mice kids. They are always so busy being alive.
Hi Hannah! Enjoyed your interview on NPR’s “Foot In Mouth” with V. Prescott today! Quite fascinating, really. And steered me to your site, so everybody wins!
I am reading QUIRK and wanted to complete the full questionnaire mentioned. Where is it?
If you go to QUIRK’s dedicated page you’ll see a synopsis of the book, and a small box with various links. Here’s the URL: http://www.personalitytest.net/ipip/ipipneo1.htm
Hi Hannah – Thanks for keeping up your always fascinating blog. I’m also a science writer but my audience is children. In the acknowledgments for my latest book, Totally Human: Why we look (and act) the way we do, I thank you (and The Well-Dressed Ape) for providing me with insight and inspiration. I’d like to send you a copy of the book if you’re interested. You can check it out on the KIds Can Press website:

Please send me your mailing address if you would like a copy. Thanks again for your amazing work!

Has any research been done on the compatiblity between personality types? For instance, if my partner is opposite from me and has low openness, high neuroticism, low extroversion, is the relationship not likely to last?
Awesome read! Though I’m still reading, it’s helping me to understand my ex. She’s hardcore-neurotic and was married for 4 years before meeting me…and just ended it suddenly, citing issues/problems with me that were not issues/problems even 2 hours before she decided to run…and I haven’t heard from her since. Your book is a god-send!
Errr… I’m glad? I’m sorry? Humans. Half of ‘em are full-on crazy and the other half are close enough to pass. hvh
Hi Hannah
I read your article in BARk this month and was really impressed by your insight of how dogs think..and I do hold they would think as you say…and your turn of phrase. I lost my old fox terrier Monday to lung cancer and my old Chesapeake mix 6 weeks ago to old age…and your words were somehow comforting and enlightening.
Thank you. Thank you.

Hi dear Hannah!
Let me say many thanks about your book “Brain Science Makes Sense of Your Peculiar Personality”. It’s so interesting and i realized some new things about my character, emotions and lifestile. I began to understand peoples behavior more clearer.
Eventhough I haven’t finish it yet, some of my friands are waiting for this book to read. Moreover, it’s a nice present for some people who you really love.
Next time I will try to find some other books writen by you.
Hope one fina day you come to Russia and give some interviews and meetings with readers.
Best wishes.
Mikhail, 29 y.o., Saint-Petersburg, Russia.
very much enjoying “secret life of dust” right now. I knew there was more to it than simple nuisance.
Any thoughts on the eventual deposition and effects of the Fukushima hot particles?
