How much do you know about the ageing immune system? We definitely learnt a lot!
Nothing like a good quiz to test our immune system knowledge 🦠 Such a fun and engaging session!

Our REACT team joined Brigit’s Garden to host a Nature Mindfulness & Forest Bathing session for older adults and people with dementia, together with their supporters.
It was a beautiful way to connect nature, community, and science — with discussions on dementia-related research closing the day.
