Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

I want to show that gender differnces can be identified in adults across ethnic lines. I wonder where to find facial images so that I can measure relative ratios between the eyes, nose length, lip measurements, etc. I wanted to include transgendered individuals.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

Here is a page listing standard database for facial recognition testing:
