It all started in 2020, when singer-songwriter and bassist Clara Cantore that he was aware of the work against the clock by scientists from Argentina to provide useful tools to face the new coronavirus, decided to “express his support” for andrea garmarnik and to his team at the Leloir Institute Foundation by sending them a song.
“I knew that they were developing what would be the first Argentine serological test for Covid-19 and I wanted to accompany that delivery with my art,” recalls Cantore, who performed the song from Unquillo, in Córdoba.
That gesture was the starting point of an alliance that grew. More musicians like Sandra Mihanovich, Juan Carlos Baglietto, Lito Vitale, Daniel “Pipi” Piazzolla, Eruca Sativa, Nahuel Pennisi and Juanchi Baleirón among more, those who began to play and sing to scientists from different parts of the country, first virtually, and later in their own laboratories.
“On the one hand, we felt accompanied by receiving music in the laboratories, but then we realized that we could create a collaborative space to communicate to society everything that we were learning about the pandemic,” he added.
This is how the project came about “Music for Science”a channel to share the information that was generated in the laboratories.
“The questions were shared: How do vaccines work? When and how to apply them? What are the variants of the coronavirus? How do they arise? Why is mass vaccination important? Those questions that we all asked ourselves had answers that were answering in real time, that’s why it was so important to share them,” said Gamarnik, a Conicet researcher at FIL.
From this meeting, musicians and scientists began to generate a common language that led to the creation of Fundación por la Ciencia, a scientific, artistic and educational project to make science visible as a tool to create a better world.
“The wonderful thing about the process is that now musicians and scientists have managed to create a collaborative work space where creative artistic processes intersect with creative processes that lead us to generate new scientific knowledge,” said Gamarnik.
