OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

What is the best way to run to win a race? Why does a sprinter slow down before the finish line? Why do you swim better slightly underwater? Why, on a bike, the faster you go, the more stable you are?
Amandine Aftalion is a mathematician and a senior scientist at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS). She specialises in modelling based on low temperature physics alongside writing on a range of sports culminating in her book ‘Be a Champion, 40 facts you didn’t know about sports and science’.
Please email external-relations@maths.ox.ac.uk to register to attend in person.
