Researchers for SickKids Hospital are looking for children and youth between the ages of 7 - 17 to take part in their study of the influence of genetic factors on the way children think and act. You can help them reach their goal of 10,000 participants by visiting their study at the Science Centre over the summer. Children are asked to complete a task on the computer, while parents fill out a computerized behavioural questionnaire about their child. After finishing the computer activity, children are asked to "spit for science" by spitting into a small plastic container. The whole process takes only about 20 minutes, and kids and teens who participate earn a prize! In the Communications Hall on Level D; 10:30 am - 5:00 pm. Weekends - check website. Ends June 27, 2010.
