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.
Studies show that children who have poor language skills at school entry are at an increased risk of a whole host of negative outcomes in terms of educational attainment, life satisfaction and mental health. However, such outcomes are not inevitable. Our research combines genetic and behavioural modelling in large population samples to try and understand mechanisms of resilience in children with developmental language disorders. In this session, I will introduce some of the genetic modelling methods that we use and discuss how these can be incorporated into behavioural models to answer questions about developmental trajectories.
