A T Cell's Story

A virtual story time! This simple story book animation tells the tale of a new T cell, who finds himself lost in the body during a big emergency! Who are all these strange new immune cells he's meeting? Why is everyone calling him "boss"? And, most importantly, can he help protect the body against the invaders that are trying to make it sick?
This was developed for the 2021 virtual Cambridge Science Festival, as part of the Ragon Institute's education and outreach efforts. It was led, animated, and voiced by Thomas Diefenbach, with support from Hannah Joi.
