Participants wanted for uni experiments

3:26pm Wednesday 13th February 2013 in News

RESIDENTS are wanted as lab rats for experiments at Essex University.

People are invited to take part in social science tests in the new state-of-the-art ESSEXLab.

The lab is the result of a £0.5 million investment by the university, and will be located within the Institute for Social and Economic Research.

To help select appropriate people for tests residents can enter their details onto a database from which participant will be invited.

Participants will be paid a minimum £2.50 show-up fee per session but could earn more depending on their choices in the experiments. Sessions will normally last around an hour though they will sometimes be 30 or 90 minutes.

To sign up for the database visit the lab’s website.

Sounds a bit like slave labour to me, £2.50 for showing up, wouldn't even cover the bus fare!

Colchester is infested by rats in human form, especially in the council chamber. Unfortunately they are used to collecting a lot more than £2.50 per appearance, so I don't see them taking part in this experiment. What a pity.

Notice how they did not state what they are studying and needing rats for.
But there are a few people on here that will make excellent candidates for them from this site.
Plenty of them on here that think it is OK to let foreign influences take control of this land. Might just give some of the rats on here a backbone
