The study will be conducted in our Cupertino/San Jose, CA research facility.  Each session will run 25 minutes long and pays $50 cash. Those who participate will be asked to provide feedback about a new drug delivery device – they will NOT be asked to poke or prod their body; we will simply ask to perform a mock injection on a skin pad with some form of injection device.Study sessions are available Monday, November 2nd and Tuesday, November 3rd between 8am-5pm.To initially qualify for this study you must:1.
