Tea with Twins

Thursday, May 14 - 6:30 - 8:00 p.m.  | Virtual Zoom Event

The Mid-Atlantic Twin Registry (MATR) is hosting Tea with Twins, a virtual (Zoom) conversation centered around research conducted with MATR twins. This event will feature two research articles focused on tobacco and cannabis use across adolescence and young adulthood and highlight important outcomes from studies involving MATR twins. We are especially excited that Dr. Elizabeth Do will join us for the conversation as a guest speaker and two members of our MATR Twin Advisory Board will help guide the discussion through interview-style questions. We hope to foster a space where we can come together to learn, listen, and support one another through open dialogue. Bring your curiosity and enthusiasm to a one hour discussion over tea (or another warm beverage). Contact matr@vcu.edu with questions.

The articles that will be discussed are linked below:
