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
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability. It is often thought of as something that happens only at older ages. But more and more, we see young adults in their 20s, 30s, 40s suffering from stroke. Why is this happening? Are strokes really becoming more common at younger ages, or are we just getting better at detecting them? More importantly, what can we do reduce the risk and improve prevention?
In this Oxford Biomedical Research Centre talk, Linxin Li, a Clinical Research Fellow in the University of Oxford’s Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, will explore the recent increase in strokes at younger ages, discuss what might be driving it and assess if there is any easy solution in primary care.
FREE entry, no booking required.
Refreshments from 5.40, for a 6pm start.
