Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Do you ever find yourself wondering how we came to exist? Or how humans came to call planet Earth our home?
Join Tim Coulson – Professor of Zoology at the University of Oxford as he talks to Charles Godfray – Director of the Oxford Martin School – they will take you back to the beginning of everything: the Big Bang. From there, they will lead you through a 13.8-billion-year epic – a tale that culminates in the most astonishing thing we have yet encountered: the staggering complexity of the human mind.
Covering physics, astronomy, chemistry, geology, the emergence of life, evolution, consciousness and the rise of humankind, yet structured to be understood by anyone with a child’s curiosity, this talk will take the biggest story of all and tell it simply, grippingly and, above all, entertainingly. It is the history of you, me and everything – of how we all came to be. In short, it is the greatest story ever told.
The talk will be followed by a drinks reception and book signing.
