Jane and her team are working hard on collecting evidence which the plan to release every week by collecting surveillance videos or other sources of videos, investigating hotels and nearby shops etc. We, the mentors of the project have been assigned the task to build a team which we’ve decided to call, “The Watchdogs”. We need very enthusiastic and passionate mentees to bring the scientific world to justice.
