Based on a collaboration with the Census of Marine Life’s MAR-ECO project (www.mar-eco.no), TSF has worked with science organizations in the fi elds of genetics, consciousness, neuroscience and others, and is currently in the process of developing a repertory for children and planning to produce school concert tours based on the curriculum being taught.
