18.01.2022 Are singers born or made? It has been a busy year as we get closer to untangling the relative role of genetics and environment on singing ability.

Only two weeks remain of our second wave of recruitment. Twin pairs who complete the study by midnight 13 December, 2018 will be eligible for the lucky draw to win $1,000 worth of eGift cards between them. We will draw the winners on the 14 December, just in time for the festive season. Twins aged over 15 years are invited to express their interest in participating via the link below. We would especially love to hear from male twins and female non-identical twins.
