Stall Catchers

Our first episode features a conversation about Stall Catchers, a game that asks volunteers to examine stalled blood vessels in videos of mice brains to advance the understanding of Alzheimer’s disease. We talk with Pietro Michelucci, director of the Human Computation Institute, and Guy Caulkins, a “Super Catcher” who not only helps catch these vessels, but has also utilized his marketing experience to plan the Stall Catchers Megathon on April 13th.
