title = "The intersection of behavioral genetics and political science: Introduction to the special issue",
abstract = "The collection of papers in this special edition of Twin Research and Human Genetics represents a major land-mark at the intersection of behavioral genetics and political science. This issue is the fruit of 20 political scientists attending the Behavioral Genetics Association Methods Workshop in Boulder and a hands-on training practicum at the Virginia Institute for Psychiatric and Behavioral Genetics, and includes results from the first wave of political science twin surveys.",

note = "Funding Information: This issue, and all the things leading up to it, including my current career, could never have been accomplished without the wisdom, vision, guidance, support, and friendship of my mentors and friends, Nicholas Martin and Lindon Eaves. I would also like to thank Rose McDermott, whose friendship, hard work, and support have led to this issue. I thank Sarah Medland for her dedication to methodological rigor, her instruction and most of all her friendship. I thank Michael Gazzaniga for funding our first conference, and Brian Humes at the National Science Foundation for taking a chance on our project (grants 0721378; 0921008; 1047687). I also thank John Hewitt for working with us to train political scientists in behavior genetics, and all the instructors at the 2010 International Workshop on Statistical Genetics and Methodology of Twin and Family Studies. And finally, I would like to express my personal gratitude to Michael Neale, Hermine Maes, Matthew Keller, Elizabeth Prom-Wormley, Nathan Gillespie, Brad Verhulst, Chris Dawes, and Levente Littvay for volunteering their time as instructors in the hands-on training; their efforts are reflected in each of these manuscripts.",
