OxTalks is Changing
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
Suspended in time
Amber, fossilised plant resin, is able to transport in time small portions of ancient ecosystems. These became trapped in the resin almost instantly, including diverse organisms preserved in stunning detail. But, how is amber gathered, prepared and studied, from the field to the laboratory? What sort of data about life on Earth millions of years ago can be obtained from this fascinating material?
