On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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.
