The Megathon is a “mega catching marathon” in Stall Catchers - a citizen science game that helps speed up Alzheimer's research. Across the country, public libraries, schools, senior living centers, and people everywhere will work together for one hour to answer a key research question about Alzheimer's that would normally take scientists an entire year. With everyone pitching in, we can accelerate Alzheimer’s research by orders of magnitude! Library computers will be set up for gameplay, but feel free to bring your laptop, tablet or smartphone and play on your own device. We’ll introduce you to the game, teach you how to play, and provide support throughout the Megathon.
