Identical Twins Gathering at New York Hall of Science

Following up on my post about the New York Hall of Science genome exhibit, there’s going to be a gathering of identical twins there next Tuesday, February 20, 2007. I received the following info from Chris Macowski of The Morris + King Company. Sounds like fun! If you’re there, please send me some pictures.

NEW YORK CITY SEES DOUBLE – CALLING ALL IDENTICAL TWINS TO APPEAR ON CBS THE EARLY SHOW ON FEBRUARY “TWIN-TIETH”!
