        That's not a spider. It's a Jurassic version of the "facehugger" from Alien. Thanks, science.pic.twitter.com/hcP96rLUj3

        How does @SciFleur of the @nytimes mention someone in London, who wasn't even involved in the discovery, *before* the actual authors of the paper at Harvard?! Does someone in Britain pay him for that kind of subservience?https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/962257607661621248 …

        Hi there. Thank you for asking. It is common practice in science journalism to ask scientists who are not involved in a new study to provide comment for our readers. They let us know if a study is good science or bad science. His quote helped set the direction of the story.

        That direction being, this is a well-preserved, but weird looking arachnid that even spider experts would have trouble deciphering. Then we go on to the spider experts who made the discovery to tell us their story about how they decoded it.

        Replying to @SciFleur @nytimes

        This doesn't explain the prominence of the British scientist in the report ahead of the Americans who were actually responsible for research. I have never seen anything like this in any British news site.

        Thank you for your reply. Has nothing to do with him being British or this being the NYT. As I said, that scientist had a good quote that helped set the direction for the rest of the story. And it applied to both studies. I hope that helps.

        Forgive my skepticism. It has everything to do with him being British.

        You have an expert calling a new spider-like creature with a tail "alien". That's a good quote. You lead stories with good quotes as long as they are qualified to say it.

        I don't know if you yourself got whatever quote you're talking about or if you read about it somewhere but I know even British @Guardian didn't quote him.
