Game Night for Science: Play Stall Catchers Online

Help accelerate research on Alzheimer’s disease by playing a video game.

All you need is curiosity.

Featured Project: Stall Catchers (SciStarter.org/stallcatchers)

During this virtual event, you'll look at images of blood flow in the brain and mark whether vessels are flowing or stuck. Every image you review helps researchers analyze data faster and move research forward!

Hear from the project scientist, ask questions, and discover how your participation supports important research AND counts towards a goal of 2.50 Million Acts of Science this April (Citizen Science Month!).
