OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Trinity Term 2023 HAPP Seminar: Why Middle-Sized Matters: The Limits of Quantum Mechanics
Does quantum mechanics apply to everything – particles, people and planets? Does the world have a wave function?

Everyone is very welcome.
