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.
Darwin concluded Origin of Species with the phrase “.. endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.” How might this happen? I will attempt to show that simple geometrical ideas and physical principles for active growth and flow help to link molecular genetics to multicellular tissue morphogenesis in developing organisms and across evolutionary time, in such instances as laying out elements of the animal body plan, e.g. gastrulation, elongation, and segmentation, and creating functional organs e.g. guts, brains, and beaks.
