About the Flirt Experts

Okay, so maybe calling ourselves ‘flirt experts’ is a bit much. Our names: Martin John, Neha Gupta, Courtney Takats, and Chelsea Batista.

All four of us are college students, part of the Brooklyn College Macaulay Honors Program. Our wonderful teacher, Professor Jennifer Adams, asked that we help out in an informal science project while at the same time present our own findings as we acted as informal science participants. Courtney was the first to suggest taking a part in the informal science project known as the Kinsey Reporter. Chelsea then pointed out that we could focus particularly on flirting patterns and thus, the Kinsey Project assignment was born.

Chelsea is probably the closest to being an official flirt expert: she has a very keen eye and recorded the most observations in our group. She also did much of the technological aspects of this project, including making the video and providing such an amazing voice-over. Courtney is our love-guru when it comes to the understanding the biology of love. Even before this project, she read about the particular hormones responsible for creating this sense of love and intimacy in people. Neha is our romance-psychology expert – majoring in psychology, she had a quite a large amount of information to discuss when it came to the psychology of flirting in people. She also edited the science article and went above-and-beyond to organize and keep us on track. As for me, Martin, I helped to sort out the data and draw the correlations between our data and the data presented on the Kinsey Reporter website.

It’s quite amazing how our entire group was able to coordinate and work together so seamlessly. We often found ourselves ahead of schedule and we were always able to trust each other in getting things done. I hope to work with this crew again – I honestly couldn’t ask for a better group to work with.

LONG LIVE THE FLIRT EXPERTS!!!
