In 2018, Nancy L. Segal an American evolutionary psychologist and world-renowned twin expert, was gripped by a news headline saying that US immigration had threatened to break up twin boys born to gay fathers by refusing a visa to one twin.What followed was Nancy's five year journey of documenting the story of Andrew and Elad Dvash-Banks and their twins Ethan and Aiden. It culminated in the publishing of her latest book,<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Gay-Fathers-Twin-Sons-Citizenship/dp/1538171252"> Gay Fathers, Twin Sons: The Citizenship Case That Captured the World</a>, Rowman &amp; Littlefield (August, 2023). I speak to Nancy about her new book and the future of twin research in the latest epsiode of Quillette Cetera.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Quillette's Zoe Sankey sits down each fortnight with scientists, writers, activists, and independent thinkers to interrogate the ideas shaping — and dividing — the Western world. From evolutionary psychology and gender to cancel culture, free speech, Islamism, and the collapse of progressive orthodoxies, no topic is too contentious and no question is off limits.

Guests have included policy researchers, evolutionary biologists, political dissidents, and some of the sharpest heterodox thinkers writing today.
