Alzheimer's Research Q&A

The Stall Catchers project is designed by researchers at Cornell University to advance Alzheimer’s solutions. This project focuses on one aspect of the disease: reduced blood flow in the brain. Learn more about Stall Catchers before the event: https://scistarter.org/nlm/stall-catchers-nlm 
 
You can help by playing a simple game: view short videos from the brains of mice and “catch” stalls. We will teach you how to score blood vessels as “flowing” or “stalled." Even the most powerful computer technologies can’t do this accurately enough yet, but your keen eyes can help us process decades worth of data. 
 
Meet Dr. Pietro Michelucci, Stall Catchers Project Lead, during this live virtual event. Allison Antrim of Olathe Public Library will be joining to ask about how Dr. Michelucci became a scientist, his education, and his career path, as well as his research for the Stall Catchers project. 
 
Join us on Zoom and submit your own questions on the Q&A/Chat features during the event. This event is supported by Olathe Public Library, Network of the National of Libraries of Medicine, All of Us, and SciStarter. 

Participation for this program involves submitting your email address for a survey to help SciStarter evaluate their programming; your information will not be added to any listservs or used for anything other than the survey.
