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
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.
