Phase One of #ThanksForTheMemories was schools engagement - we supported year 9 pupils at Co-op Academy Schools in Manchester and Greyfriars School in Oxford to compose their own pieces of music inspired by the science and history of vaccination 🎵🧪

Thanks for the Memories is a 3yr public engagement project involving researchers, composers, & secondary school students, exploring musical responses to the topic of immune memory.
