About Citizen Science

Citizen science encourages non-academics to contribute to groundbreaking research experiments. Here at Science of People we think it is incredibly important to take research into our own hands. We work with teams of scientists, citizens and academics across continents. We hope our readers will help us and encourage more inquisitive minds to engage in our citizen science projects.

Our Mission: To contribute to the growing research on body language, nonverbal behavior and lie detection to make further exploration possible.
