OxTalks is Changing
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
The Mary Somerville Connexion
Richard Holmes, whose recent books include The Age of Wonder and This Long Pursuit, will explore the various friendships and mentor relationships that Mary Somerville (1780-1872) formed with contemporary scientists John Herschel, Charles Babbage, Ada Lovelace, and Maria Mitchell (USA). These serve to illuminate the whole question of women in science, popularising science, and scientific education, in a period of unprecedented advances in science, exploration and understanding of the universe.
