Six months after its launch, the ATR’s Facebook page is attracting daily new followers, with nearly 1400 to date.

Now we’ve added Twitter as another way for registry members and twins to share their news.

Our aim is to keep you up-to-date with the latest on twin health and research, and for twins to connect with each other.

Our stories cover twin research from around Australia and the world, unique stories about twins from the global media, twin festivals and special events, twin parenting issues, and much more.

It’s great that these forums provide us with an immediate and collaborative way to stay in touch with members. We welcome your comments on any of our posts and please let us know of any issues that you would like more - or less - covered on our Facebook and Twitter.

Please keep your comments and photos coming, and encourage other twin friends, colleagues, and family members to join us.
