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
Dr Ray will be speaking about two studies just published in April 2025 that investigated febrile non-traumatic coma in African children. In the first paper they report that the malaria mortality rate has remained constant for 50 years, despite targeted interventions and improved treatment. In the second paper they report that whilst cerebral malaria is the leading cause of febrile coma, bacterial co-infections were detected in over 25% of cases.
