The following passage is a correction to the entry ‘Twins Switching Places’ in the Human Interest section of a previous News, Views, and Comments column, published in Twin Research and Human Genetics; Segal, N. L. (2026), 29(3). The original information was drawn from an online publication:
‘The incident involving switching places, the seat assignment, and the instructor’s concern about an emergency occurred when the Kriner twins were in elementary or middle school, not in college. They did not exchange places in college for the purpose of being marked present.’
The original comment was from a published source and the correction based on discussion with one of the twins.
