Middle school students, seniors, caregivers and Alzheimer’s patients themselves can play the game.This helps to speed up Alzheimer's disease research at Cornell University. You can join this event at the library as part of Citizen Science Day. You can sign up early at stallcatchers.com and practice or just come in.
