    Very interesting article about IVF.  I’ve been reading about how many doctors are now encouraging IVF folks to implant one embryo instead of more than one.  Apparently this is due to the higher risks for both mother and babes in multiples pregnancies and births.  Turns out, according to this Boston Globe article, that many people…

    I love this Tallahassee Democrat story about Florida State twins, both medical students, who started a charity drive called “Share a Pair.”  They collect shoes to send to needy children around the world. And, in other news, it turns out that Valerie Plame is a twin mom!  I cracked up reading this blog post about…
