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 Owen was the team leader at Pfizer to develop the oral inhibitor Paxlovid, targeting the SARS2-Covid 19 protease. This discovery was one of the milestones to mitigate the recent COVID19 pandemic.
