Chris’s current focus is Alzheimer’s Disease, and he has recently collaborated with the developers of Stardust@Home and Eyewire to create a citizen science game – EyesOnALZ – intended to enlist the public’s help to analyze the lab’s extensive amount of Alzheimer’s-related data. Chris has a strong interest in science policy and recently completed a sabbatical working as a science fellow in Washington DC. In addition to his accomplishments in science, Chris is a skillful surfer and has taken on waves all over the world, including 20 foot waves at Todos Santos, Mexico.
