A research buddy in practice

Sebastiaan, Research Buddies user

When preparing my experiment for a social science thesis I definitely needed a research buddy. A critical component for my experiment was to accurately measure the psychomotor vigilance of my subjects. Luckily I found Research Buddies and I passed my thesis with flying colors.
