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
With budget cuts and DOGE, working out how to do science well has become all the rage recently. The Metascience unit, established by UKRI and DSIT sets out to ask questions like ‘What science should get done’, ‘How should science be done’, and ‘How do we help science get done effectively’ .
Come along for a presentation by Jack Leahy and Cillian Brophy and find out more about the work at the Metascience unit, and decide for yourself whether so-called ‘smart’ science is what we need, or if it’s just a sign of the times.
