This episode is a conversation based on two of Nancy Segal's books The Twin Children of the Holocaust: Stolen Childhood and the Will to Survive and Gay Fathers, Twin Sons: the Citzenship Case that Captured the World. Shermer and Segal discuss: her historical interest in twins research and behavior genetics • the many different types of twins and family arrangements • twins separated accidentally • twins separated intentionally • twins reunited • a brief history of twins research • Josef Mengele • Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart • the gay fathers and twin sons story • immigration and naturalization law related to IVF, twins, gay couples, etc. • abortion • eugenics and the Nobel Prize sperm bank • the meaning of “heritability” • the relative role of nature and nurture in how lives turn out • the “nonshared environment.” Nancy Segal is a Psychology Professor, and Director and Founder of the Twin Studies Center at California State University, Fullerton. She has authored over 300 scholarly articles and eight books. Her 2012 book, Born Together-Reared Apart: The Landmark Minnesota Twin Study, won the American Psychological Association's William James Book Award. Her recent work, Deliberately Divided: Inside the Controversial Study of Twins and Triplets Adopted Apart, was the focus of a July 2022 BBC-TV documentary. She's a member of the editorial board of Skeptic magazine.

What can twins (identical, fraternal and virtual) teach us about the roles of genetics, lifestyle, environment and sociology in terms of 'who' (and how) we become? Professor Nancy Segal is an internationally-renowned researcher, academic, author and speaker, who's appeared on Oprah, CBS Sunday Morning, the Martha Stewart Show, Good Morning America, 20/20, Discovery Health and countless other national and international shows. And now, at the pinnacle of her media career, she chats with the sweary Bogan from Bayside Melbourne. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nancy Segal is a professor at California State University, an author and one of the most prominent twin-study researchers on the planet. What makes you the person you are? Is it your genetics or your environment? When twins are either accidentally or purposefully separated at birth, it presents a fascinating view into this debate, shedding light on the influence of both traits and environments on the outcomes we get in life. Expect to learn the craziest similarities between twins who have been raised apart, how it's possible to have a pair of twins born at the same time to two different fathers, what happens when twins meet for the first time, what you can learn from triplets that you can't learn from twins, just how big of an impact genes and environment are on the traits we see in people, how important of a role chance plays in our lives and much more...

Get early access to our latest psychology lectures: bit.ly/new-talks5 The comparative study of identical and fraternal twins is a powerful method for identifying the relative contributions of genes and environments to individual differences in behavioral, physical, and health-related characteristics. Studies of reared-apart twins provide even more compelling ways to approach this same class of questions, given that the co-twins were raised in different homes, communities and/or countries, so were unable to influence one another. This talk first reviews the different types of twins and the logic behind twin designs before presenting findings from past, recent and current studies of twins who grew up separately. Here, the focus will be on the Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart and the Fullerton Study of Chinese Twins; however, research using reared together twins, virtual twins (same-age-unrelated individuals reared together who replicated twinship but without a genetic link) and unrelated look-alikes will also be described with reference to family relations, tacit coordination, personality similarity, and bereavement. The vast body of evidence indicates that genetic influence is pervasive, affecting virtually every measured human trait, but environmental factors also play a role. The occasional abuse of twin studies must be recalled to prevent their future occurrence. --- Prof. Nancy L. Segal, PhD is Professor of Psychology and Director of the Twins Studies Center at California State University, Fullerton. She has authored over 250 articles and six books on twins; her seventh book, Deliberately Divided: Inside the Controversial Study of Twins and Triplets Adopted Apart was released in November 2021.

Changes in leadership are still impacting hiring within federal agencies, creating more opportunities and continually evolving the hiring processes across the federal landscape. Despite the changes, one constant remains: on any given day there are more than 10,000 jobs posted on USAJOBS. And more than 75 percent of those are outside the DC metro area. Many professionals and job seekers miss out on these opportunities to serve their country and access the benefits of federal employment. They misunderstand what jobs exist, do not know how to find them, or are overwhelmed by the process to apply. In this episode of The Career Confidante, host Marie Zimenoff will welcome Nancy Segal who served in federal HR roles for 30 years. Today, Nancy uses that expertise to help job seekers and train career service providers. Together, Nancy and Marie will demystify the federal hiring process and the federal resume while sharing insider information that can help you access this opportunity-rich job market.

Twins have always fascinated us but is there more to their connection than just being double trouble for their poor parents and a puzzle to the rest of us if we're trying to tell them apart.

A lot can be learned from scientific twin studies about the relative contributions of nature versus nurture to human experience. However, when such studies do lasting harm to its participants, what does it teach us about the dangerous power of scientific zeal? This is the subject of Dr. Nancy Segal's latest book, Deliberately Divided: Inside the Controversial Study of Twins and Triplets Adopted Apart (Rowman & Littlefield, 2021), in which she documents the controversial methods employed by the Louise Wise Services-Child Development Center Twin Study of the 1960s and 1970s. In our interview, she addresses the fallout of such methods for twins that were studied but kept unaware of each other for years and what it says about the unique bond shared by twins. This discussion of a tragic but fascinating and important moment in scientific history is relevant for anyone interested in questions about the roles of genes versus the environment or about the uniqueness of twin relationships. Nancy L. Segal, Ph.D. is professor of psychology at California State University, Fullerton and director of the Twin Studies Center.

In this interview, I spoke with Oliver Burkeman. Oliver is a writer, TED speaker, and the bestselling author of several books, including: “The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking”, and “Help! How to Become Slightly Happier and Get More Things Done.” This conversation focuses on Oliver's most recent book: 4,000 Weeks, which is about making the most of the very brief amount of time we all have here on the planet. There have been few books that have impacted me as much as this one, and if you can apply some of Oliver's insights and perspectives, they have the potential to dramatically transform your relationship with time, into one that feels life-giving, rather than crushing. It's not just me either. Adam Grant has called it “The Most Important Book Ever Written About Time Management”, while Krista Tippet says: “It invites nothing less than a new relationship with time – and with life itself.” You can learn more about Oliver's work at www.oliverburkeman.com, follow him on twitter @oliverburkeman, and get a copy of the book here. --- This episode is brought to you by The Weekend University's Day on Human Nature Online Conference, taking place on Sunday December 19th 2021.

var MP3jPLAYLISTS = []; var MP3jPLAYERS = [];  This show is about how two doctors had separated identical twins to study them, BUT never told the twins or their adoptive parents of the existence of their siblings. It sounds like something from a science fiction novel, doesn't it? This couldn't happen in the United States. But as Dr. Nancy Segal,  investigated further, she discovered, to her surprise and horror, that such a study had in fact happened. The details were not quite as straightforward as she had been led to believe, but twins were indeed separated from each other and studied by scientists, who kept the purposes of their work secret.         nancy segal twf - nancy segal twf MP3jPLAYLISTS.inline_0 = [ { name: "nancy segal twf", formats: ["mp3"], mp3: "aHR0cDovL3RhbGt3aXRoZnJhbmNlc2NhLmNvbS93cC1jb250ZW50L3VwbG9hZHMvMjAyMS8xMi9uYW5jeS1zZWdhbC10d2YubXAz", counterpart:"", artist: "nancy segal twf", image: "", imgurl: "" } ]; MP3jPLAYERS[0] = { list: MP3jPLAYLISTS.inline_0, tr:0, type:'single', lstate:'', loop:false, play_txt:'     ', pause_txt:'     ', pp_title:'', autoplay:false, download:false, vol:100, height:'' };

Get early access to our latest psychology lectures: http://bit.ly/new-talks5 Through his brain-scan studies on Brazilian psychic mediums, Sufi mystics, Buddhist meditators, Franciscan nuns, Pentecostals, and participants in secular spirituality rituals, Dr Andrew Newberg has discovered the specific neurological mechanisms underlying spiritual experiences – and how we might activate those circuits in our own brains. In his survey of more than one thousand people who have experienced enlightenment, Dr Newberg has also discovered that in the aftermath they have had profound, positive life changes. In this talk, you'll learn how spiritual experiences offer us the possibility to become permanently less stress-prone, to break bad habits, to improve our collaboration and creativity skills, and to lead happier, more satisfying lives. Relaying the story of his own transformational experience as well as the stories of others who try to describe an event that is truly indescribable, Dr Newberg will share a new paradigm for deep and lasting change. -- Dr Andrew Nerberg is a neuroscientist, author, Professor, and the Research Director in the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. He studies how brain function is associated with various mental states, and is a pioneer in the neurological study of religious and spiritual experiences – a field known as “neurotheology.” Dr Newberg's research has included brain scans of people in prayer, meditation, rituals, and trance states, as well as surveys of people's spiritual experiences and attitudes. He has also evaluated the relationship between religious or spiritual phenomena and health, and the effect of meditation on memory. He believes that it is important to keep science rigorous, and religion religious.

Quillette podcast host Jonathan Kay speaks with California State University professor Nancy Segal about her career spent studying twins, and her new book, Deliberately Divided.

Quillette podcast host Jonathan Kay speaks with world-renowned twins expert Nancy Segal about a lifetime spent studying people with identical genes

FKN WOOPS. Two mothers give birth to twins on the same night at the same hospital. They take those twins home, and each raise what they assume are their non-identical twin boys. But 25 years later, through total chance, the young men discover there is someone who looks exactly like each of them living in the same city. Yep - two sets of twins had been mixed up at the hospital when they were born, and it turns out they had been identical all along, it's just that they were sent home with the wrong brother...

Learn about the roles of nature and nurture in shaping our lives, with Dr. Nancy Segal, a leading expert in twin studies.   Nancy Segal, PhD, is Professor of Psychology at California State University, Fullerton and Director of the Twin Studies Center. She has authored over 250 scientific articles and six books on twins and twin development. She is also a twin herself.   Dr. Segal chats with host Dr. Chana Davis (a geneticist, and mother of twins) about how twins are studied, and what we have learned about the roles of genes and environment on height, intelligence, personality and more. They also share personal reflections on how we can apply this knowledge to the way we live, parent, and think about ourselves.   Dr. Segal also shares a preview of her latest book, entitled Deliberately Divided: Inside the Controversial Study of Twins and Triplets Adopted Apart. Resources Dr. Segal's website and books: https://www.drnancysegaltwins.org Dr. Segal's faculty profile at Cal State Fullerton International Society of Genetic Genealogy Wiki Studies Meta-analysis of the heritability of human traits based on fifty years of twin studies (Polderman et al, 2015) Identical twins carry a persistent epigenetic signature of early genome programming (van Dongen et al, 2021)

In the early 1960s, the head of a prominent New York City Child Development Center and a psychiatrist from Columbia University launched a study designed to track the development of twins and triplets given up for adoption and raised by different families. The controversial and disturbing catch? None of the adoptive parents had been told that they were raising a twin — the study's investigators insisted that the separation be kept secret. The details of what happened, until now, have been lost to the archives of history. In this conversation based on her new book, Nancy Segal reveals the inside stories of the agency that separated the twins, and the collaborating psychiatrists who, along with their cadre of colleagues, observed the twins until they turned twelve. Interviews with colleagues, friends and family members of the agency's psychiatric consultant and the study's principal investigator, as well as a former agency administrator, research assistants, journalists, ethicists, attorneys, and — most importantly — the twins and their families who were unwitting participants in this controversial study, are riveting.

Nancy Segal is a behavioral geneticist, evolutionary psychologist, and one of the nation's preeminent experts on twin studies. During our conversation, Nancy talks about what we can learn from identical twin studies, the role of genes in human nature, and her forthcoming book, "Deliberately Divided: Inside the Controversial Study of Twins and Triplets Adopted Apart."------------Support this podcast via VenmoSupport this podcast via PayPalSupport this podcast on Patreon------------Show notesLeave a rating on SpotifyLeave a rating on Apple PodcastsFollow Keep Talking on Twitter, Instagram, and FacebookListen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube------------(00:59) Nancy shares her background and what got her interested in twin studies(02:04) The state of research around twins when Nancy started her career(03:40) Nancy's initial intuition about fraternal twins and identical twins and what that looked like once the research was actually fleshed out(06:04) About identical twins, how they're created, and their biological similarities(07:51) The story of two pairs of identical Columbian twins who were raised as two pairs of fraternal twins(13:48) The University of Virginia's study on identical and fraternal twins(17:43) The role of epigenetics in the development of any human being(21:12) A peek into Nancy's upcoming book, Deliberately Divided: Inside the Controversial Study of Twins and Triplets Adopted Apart(26:01) Nancy talks about the Louis Wise Agency(34:23) What is the moral and reasonable way to try to raise the next generation of kids?(41:20) Misunderstandings or corrections that Nancy clarifies about twins through her research and expertise(43:26) The most interesting information Nancy has received about her discipline, both research-based and anecdote-based(50:03) Do our genes predispose us in a particular direction when making decisions(56:25) Nancy talks about virtual twins, their traits, and about Canadian photographer, Francois Brunelle who has taken pictures of look-alikes (not biological twins(59:03) Questions on twins beyond the realm of scientific inquiry(01:07:42) What are the pushbacks to academic research on twin studies?

From movie plots to ad campaigns to viral videos, if they feature twins, they grab our attention every time. But it’s not only the general public who are fascinated with twins. Over many decades, twins have garnered attention from psychologists and other researchers because of what they can tell us about how our genes and environment interact to make us who we are. Nancy Segal, PhD, a professor of psychology and director of the Twin Studies Center at California State University, Fullerton, talks about the state of twin research today and what we've learned about twins, and from them, over the decades.

The bond between twins is a connection that can not be explained if you weren't born into. Dan tries to understand what that connection between both fraternal and identical twins is like and how it effects their romantic relationships. Dan talks with evolutionary psychologist and author Dr. Nancy Segal about the psychology of being a twin. On an identical twin version of DANswers, we learn if twin's significant others ever get them mixed up and what the worst part of being a twin is. Then Dan has a conversation with his identical and fraternal twin best friends to see how different types of twins are similar.

Nancy Segal studies twins separated at birth to discover the role that genes play in making us who we are. Psychologist Joan Friedman treats twins in her practice and she's got advice for parents, and teachers and friends, of twins on how to avoid common pitfalls in raising them.

Influential women understand that connection extends far beyond passing out business cards or schmoozing. This podcast features Nancy Segal talking about how her depth of connections led to extraordinary changes. From litigating the last bastion of discrimination against weight requirements for female flight attendants to her delight in being a matchmaker, Nancy exemplifies how respectful relationships bring power to women. Nancy Segal is the Executive Director of Government Relations for Educational Testing Services (ETS) in Washington, D.C. Segal oversees policy experts that address education and workforce issues in the United States and 180 other countries. Prior to joining ETS, she was Associate Vice President at ACT, Inc., overseeing federal relations. Her experience includes being Legislative Director of the National Parent Teacher Association and later, Counsel for the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Segal began her professional life as an employment, labor and civil rights attorney. She served as counsel to the late Senator Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.

The central theme of this episode is Dr. Segal's latest book, Accidental Brothers. We start the conversation with some personal questions, about what it was for Dr. Segal to live as and have a relationship with her fraternal twin, and also what she deemed to be the most interesting findings coming from the MISTRA (Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart). Subsequent topics include: studies with identical, fraternal and virtual twins, and triplets, and what they teach us about human nature; how people express themselves more fully as they get independent from their family; the nature vs nurture dichotomy, and also nurture via nature and nature via nurture approaches; the role of chance in people's lives; epigenetics and the prenatal environment; how behavioral genetics might inform parenting practices; and related subjects.

In December 1988, two pairs of twin boys were born in Colombia. One twin from each pair was accidentally given to the wrong mother — a mistake that wasn't discovered for decades. The twins' story is a tragedy, a soap opera, and a science experiment, all rolled into one. It also gives us clues about the role that genes and the environment play in shaping our identities. We talk with psychologist Nancy Segal about her work with twins, and her encounters with these now-famous brothers. For research related to this episode, please visit https://n.pr/2uvpvPe

Seeing double? It’s not your imagination - birth rates of twins have been rising sharply, and twin studies are now, more than ever, influencing various disciplines. Everyone from economists, to religious scholars, to scientists see the value in studying twins. Nancy Segal, author of “Born Together-Reared Apart: The Landmark Minnesota Twin Study,” talks to us about the far-reaching effects of twins. And if you’re not a twin yourself, don’t feel left out, because what we learn from twins can lead to breakthroughs that impact us all. Segal, a professor of psychology at California State University, Fullerton, explains how twins can teach us about nature vs. nurture, parenting styles, and preventative medicine.

Twins raised apart their entire lives have surprisingly similar lives and behavioral traits. Nancy Segal has been studying these rare twins for decades, and her research is fascinating!

How much of our children's basic temperament, their mental health, their intelligence, their learning disabilities, and all the things that make them who they are comes from their genes and how much from their environment. What can we learn about genetics vs. environment from the ongoing twin studies, including the study of twins separated at birth? Host Dawn Davenport, Executive Director of Creating a Family, the national infertility & adoption education and support organization, interviews three leading twin researchers: Dr. Matt McGue, Professor of Psychology at University of Minnesota, a behavioral and quantitative geneticist, Co-Director of Minnesota Twin Family Study and the Sibling Interaction and Behavior Study and Research on Adoption and adoptive dad; and Dr. Nancy Segal, Professor of Psychology, Director of the Twin Studies Center at California State University, Fullerton and author of Indivisible by Two: Lives of Extraordinary Twins and Entwined Lives: Twins and What They Tell Us About Human Behavior.   Blog summary of the show and highlights can be found here:   Blog summary of the show   Highlights   More Creating a Family resources on nature vs. nurture can be found here.

Identical twins, separated at birth, raised in different families, and reunited in adulthood. In 1979, psychology researchers in Minnesota found some twins who had been reunited after a lifetime of separation, and brought them in to participate in a research study. And so began the Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart. At the time, psychology leaned heavily toward the nurture side of the nature-nurture debate. The twins provided unique information about the role of genes and environment in human development. Over the twenty years of the study, massive amounts of data about the twin pairs were collected about intelligence, personality, medical traits, and many other aspects of development. The results changed our understanding of how we become who we are in adulthood. In her book, Born Together-Reared Apart: The Landmark Minnesota Twin Study (Harvard University Press, 2012), Dr. Nancy Segal describes the history of the controversial Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart, as well as the results of the study and case examples of these fascinating twin pairs.  Her book recently won the prestigious William James Book Award from The American Psychological Association.
