OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Scientific progress is derailed by two human failings: a desire for positive findings, which leads to publication bias, and a tendency to notice and remember things that agree with our current viewpoint, which affects how we cite prior literature. Either one of these alone is damaging; combined they form a toxic combination that means that many ‘established facts’ in a field are not trustworthy. I will give examples of these processes and discuss how we might overcome them.
