Abstract
AbstractSelected highlights from the 2021 Congress of the International Society for Twin Studies are reviewed. The perspectives of a new graduate student member to the society are also included. Timely research covering issues related to maternal bonding with twins, twins with Peters anomaly, selective termination in dichorionic twin pairs and neuropsychological functioning in twins with neurofibromatosis is reviewed. The final part of this article includes interesting and informative media reports related to the world’s most premature survivor who is a twin, identical male baseball players, Malaysian twins switched at birth and a pair of the so-called ‘biracial’ twins.
