  18. Featured activity: Stall Catchers MEGATHON! Featured Activity The Megathon will bring together thousands of intergenerational patrons who will work together in libraries for one hour analyzing real research data to answer a key research question about Alzheimer's disease that would normally take scientists at Cornell an entire year.   Register and find a step-by-step Megathon guide here: Megathon.us

  19. Megathon April 13th, 2019

  20. What is Stall Catchers What is . ?

  23. 30% less blood flow in the brain in Alzheimer’s

  24. Reason: stalls clogged blood vessels in the brain

  25. Restoring Blood Flow Restores Memory Restoring blood flow restores memory and reduces other symptoms in mice

  26. Reduces Symptoms in Mice Restoring blood flow restores memory and reduces other symptoms in mice

  27. 6 to 12 months to answer one research question

  28. Analysis Rate Increases with Recruitment
