OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Andrew Robinson is a historian who has written more than twenty-five books, including ‘Einstein: A Hundred Years of Relativity’, ‘The Last Man Who Knew Everything’, ‘Genius: A Very Short Introduction’ and ‘Einstein on the Run: How Britain Saved the World’s Greatest Scientist’. He also contributes regularly to newspapers and magazines. Einstein’s blackboard is the Oxford History of Science Museum’s most famous object. Yet it tells us relatively little of Einstein’s relationship with Oxford and Britain. British science inspired young Einstein’s physics; in 1919, British astronomers made him world famous; in 1933, Britain saved his life from Nazi death threats by offering him sanctuary – first in Oxford, then in rural Norfolk.
Buffet reception at 19:00 – RSVP for reception: info@oxfordchabad.org
