OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Searching for habitability on Venus and exoplanets
Venus today presents a type example of how habitability can fail to persist on a planet: rocky and to a first order overwhelmingly Earth-like, but with a climate profoundly hostile to life’s complex molecular machinery. But, was it always like this and will we know a Venus from an Earth when we see one elsewhere in the galaxy? This talk investigates what evidence there may be for Venus’s past climate state, and relates this to the frontier of our search for habitable conditions on exoplanets.
