Twins Days Festival

Today, one in 90 U.S. births are twins, and multiple births have doubled since the 1970s, largely due to advancements in fertility drugs and treatments. From science comes science: In addition to the 2,500 sets of twins and multiples -- from infants to octogenarians -- who flock to Twinsburg, Ohio, for the 34th annual festival of three-legged races and cutest-twins contests, a dozen scientists are invited to use the fairgrounds as recruiting grounds for genetics studies. How's that for a two-for-one deal? -- Emilia Benton
