Welcome to a new series of blog posts by TAPS Support.

It’s time to introduce the TAPS Support Fast Five, and this week we’re introducing Prof. Dr Dick Oepkes

In this series, we talk to the researchers and doctors who have dedicated their lives to researching not only TAPS, but other conditions and diseases affecting monochorionic twins.

15 Years of TAPS Research

Last week we interviewed Dr Lewi from Belgium about TAPS research, and realised that is 15 years since the very first paper was published describing TAPS.

Things have come a long way since then, and even we can’t believe the progress that has happened. There’s still a long way to go, but for now, we compiled a quick video that shows what we know in around 2 and a half minutes.

We’d love to thank the researchers who have dedicated their lives to TAPS research.

2020 marks 15 years since the first paper describing TAPS – what do we know about it?

Why “fine” can be a bad word.

On our social media and in our group recently we asked the question “What word/s do you dislike the most?”

It sparked some interesting conversations, and it appears that the word “moist” is pretty universally disliked. You can’t argue with a statistic like 18/100 people stating that they don’t like it!
