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
Chris Thorogood is a botanist and artist who has travelled the world in pursuit of plants. In this talk, Chris will take us on some of his hair-raising, global adventures over clifftops, up erupting volcanoes, through typhoons, and out into the very heart of the world’s vast, green wilderness, all for the love of plants. Chris will talk about his conservation work around the world, and share how he recreates his botanical encounters in paint.
Chris Thorogood is the Deputy Director and Head of Science at Oxford Botanic Garden and Arboretum. Chris’s research focusses on plant evolution, biodiversity and biomimetics. He is an ambassador for public engagement with plant sciences and regular broadcaster. Chris is a wildlife artist and botanical illustrator, and an international best-selling author of specialist field guides and popular titles including ‘Weird Plants’ and ‘Chasing Plants’.
This talk will be followed by a drinks reception and everyone is welcome.
