   This is an installation of three videos inspired by our Environmental Risk Longitudinal Twin Study (E-risk) in collaboration with artist Jordan Baseman. The show had its debut at the Monash University Museum of Art and Design in February, 2007, and shows at the Wellcome Trust museum of medicine in London in May, 2007. “Laws of Variation” films a very bloody multiple-birth delivery, with voiceover of Terrie Moffitt discussing the joys and traumas of human variation. “Tape1 Tape2” presents a mother of MZ twins explaining to a researcher the reasons why she adores one daughter and dislikes the other. “Nature’s great experiment” narrates a research workers’ view of the science of behavioural genetics, and describes her day-to-day experiences with families, some of whom harm or neglect their twins. The art was funded by the Wellcome Trust.
