Had a fantastic time at Dangerous Matter – a powerful opera on the history of vaccination, premiered at the RNCM in collaboration with the University of Oxford. It’s been a privilege to be involved in project – from speaking at the Science and Industry Museum workshop to hosting students in the lab.
