OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

Communication is central to what makes us human. We spend most of our day communicating – speaking, writing, explaining, teaching, texting, arguing and so on. Yet academic experts – scientists in particular – often struggle to communicate effectively beyond their own circles.
Join Dr Joanna Bagniewska, co-author of The Communicating Scientist: A Practical Handbook (Springer Nature, 2025) as she explores what makes communication work and why it matters, with Dr Tom Crawford. This talk offers practical insights into how experts can engage with wider audiences, bridging gaps in understanding and building trust.
This free event marks the launch of The Communicating Scientist: A Practical Handbook and will be followed by a book signing and drinks reception.
