The first festival, called the \u201dTwins Assembly\u201d, was organized on Sunday 4th of November 2012. The event attracted approximately 50 twin pairs, 100 persons of twins plus their relatives.<br \/>The second event of Sunday 10th of November 2013 was organized at the Osaka University Suita Campus Convention Center and attracted roughly 70 twin pairs, 200 persons of twins, plus their families. For this year\u2019s occasion, the name of the event was changed to Twin Festival.<br \/>The third Twin Festival was organized on Sunday 2nd of November 2014 in the same venue, and attracted roughly 60 twin pairs, 200 twin persons as participants. <br \/><br \/>At these gatherings we ask twin researchers around the country to give lectures on twin studies\u2019 history, current status, future expectations and other relevant topics. In 2014, we also had the opportunity to hear Jaakko Kaprio, professor of genetic epidemiology at the University of Helsinki, give a special memorial lecture titled \u201dDevelopments and Trends in the World on Twin Research\u201d. Another special memorial lecture was given by professor Setsuko Ochiai from Aino University, Faculty of Nursing and Rehabilitation on the title \u201dRaising Twins &#8211; Mommy\u2019s, Daddy\u2019s and Child\u2019s Feelings\u201d. In addition researchers representing each of the Center\u2019s research departments gave science cafe-style introductions on the present state and results of the clinical twin studies currently being conducted in each department in the hope of furthering understanding of the Center\u2019s activities among the twin participants.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-97\" src=\"https:\/\/www.med.osaka-u.ac.jp\/pub\/twin\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/05\/social_contribution_p01.jpg\" alt=\"social_contribution_p01\" width=\"210\" height=\"108\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 8pt\"><strong>Discussion after the special memorial lecture<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 8pt\"><strong>\u201dDevelopments and Trends in the World on Twin Research\u201d.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-98\" src=\"https:\/\/www.med.osaka-u.ac.jp\/pub\/twin\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/05\/social_contribution_p02.jpg\" alt=\"social_contribution_p02\" width=\"210\" height=\"108\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 8pt\">\u201dRaising Twins &#8211; Mommy\u2019s, Daddy\u2019s and Child\u2019s Feelings\u201d,<\/span><\/strong><br \/><strong><span style=\"font-size: 8pt\">picture of mingling parents<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research results as social contributions Dissemination of information on twin research through symposiums and  [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":22,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-25","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.med.osaka-u.ac.jp\/pub\/twin\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.med.osaka-u.ac.jp\/pub\/twin\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.med.osaka-u.ac.jp\/pub\/twin\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.med.osaka-u.ac.jp\/pub\/twin\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.med.osaka-u.ac.jp\/pub\/twin\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.med.osaka-u.ac.jp\/pub\/twin\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.med.osaka-u.ac.jp\/pub\/twin\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.med.osaka-u.ac.jp\/pub\/twin\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
