Aid Alzheimer’s research by identifying stalls, clogged blood vessels, in short, online videos. For years, Stall Catchers has been one of SciStarter’s most popular projects.
Participants have already analyzed more than 12 million images, saving researchers thousands of hours and accelerating critical research on this deadly disease. More help is needed.

Año Nuevo is a remote island off the coast of California that’s full of wildlife few get to see in person. Over the last few years, scientists have been regularly taking drone footage to observe the animals that live and seek refuge here.
Aid their research by classifying these photos to better understand how many seals, sea lions and birds are visiting throughout the year, and how their population sizes fluctuate.
