Abstract
Twin highlights from the 2025 summer meeting of the International Society for Human Ethology are reviewed. The value of observing twins in naturalistic and semi-naturalistic settings is revealed. Research reports involving twins with Feingold syndrome, twins with language delays, breastfeeding of twins, and twins with Olmsted syndrome are reviewed. The final section of this article covers timely and informative news of twins in the media. Topics include the loss of young Texas twins in the devasting July 4th flood, a sensational - and singular - musical twin performer, conjoined twin deliveries in Myanmar and India, and two pairs of twins headed to major league baseball teams.
