On 1 July, VALIDATE members Hua Wang, Camila Freitas, Erin McMaster and Beatrice Francis delivered a science engagement event at Oundle School for 30 students from two local schools.

The students explored tuberculosis, vaccines and science communication before working in groups to create posters showcasing what they had learned. The event introduced learners to vaccine research and encouraged them to consider future careers in science.
