The Courchesne lab pays also, but they are in San Diego which is even further. UCLA may have some opportunities also and i guess you could get there. I may look into seeing if i could make some money in a UCLA study myself.jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14972394536850151087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353442983052145851.post-38200438249876754202011-01-21T16:44:01.747-08:002011-01-21T16:44:01.747-08:00Maybe I should do that Jonathan.

The person you probably would want to discuss that with is Katherine Holcomb who is the administrator and coordinator of the research in the lab. <br /><br />Also, they work on weekends to accommodate research subjects who work during the week. So, another option is you could ask your mom to give you a ride there on a saturday or a sunday and participate in the studies on one of those days.jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14972394536850151087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353442983052145851.post-134751175696865402011-01-21T11:51:52.697-08:002011-01-21T11:51:52.697-08:00I don't think they'd provide transport eit...I don't think they'd provide transport either. Driving is pretty much a necessity in LA, although it would be hard for me since I'm autistic. I suppose I could take the Metro Gold Line out to Pasadena, but even that would take a lot of time and effort.Oliver M Canbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02933533725693723362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353442983052145851.post-6370720183467519812011-01-21T07:56:53.540-08:002011-01-21T07:56:53.540-08:00Well, you might consider calling the lab and askin...Well, you might consider calling the lab and asking them if there is some way they could provide transportation. I am guessing they probably would not be able to, but i guess you could try. If it is possible you should consider learning how to drive and getting a driver's license. It won't be easy for you in los angeles area without being able to drive as you probably know already.jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14972394536850151087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353442983052145851.post-71224573859214722652011-01-20T22:27:11.801-08:002011-01-20T22:27:11.801-08:00It's great that you are helping out with scien...It's great that you are helping out with science, Jonathan. I would do this too for the cash except that I do not have a driver's license so there would be no reasonable way for me to make it all the way out to Pasadena.Oliver M Canbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02933533725693723362noreply@blogger.com
