Did you know contributing to Alzheimer’s research is as easy as playing a game?

In this hands-on event, we will connect virtually with participants around the country and the real scientists behind Stall Catchers.

After hearing from the research team and learning how to play, you will log in to participate in Stall Catchers, a game-like process that helps identify blood clots in images to advance Alzheimer’s research. Every image you review helps researchers analyze data faster and move research forward! Library staff will be on hand for assistance.

No experience or special equipment is required. A limited number of laptops will be available for use. Participants are encouraged to bring a Wi-Fi connected laptop from home. Recommended for ages 16+.

This event is part of the Acts of Science: Connected signature series for Citizen Science Month 2026 and will count towards the 250 million Acts of Science goal. During the event, we'll learn about the project, hear from the project scientist, and do the project together. Your questions will be answered in real-time, too!

Registration is appreciated, but not required. (Ages 18+)
