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
Join OPS for a talk with Aidan Hurst, for an exploration into strange and unusual psychoactive substances like DMT, Salvia, and highly-potent cannabinoids. There are compounds that induce downward-shifts in pitch perception to dream-inducing giraffe bone beverages. Aidan will take the audience on a safari through some of his own psychoactive inventions that probe the boundaries of the chemistry of our consciousness.
About Aidan: He has invented a handful of novel psychedelic substances, and is currently investigating a 200-year old mystery surrounding a dream-inducing caterpillar. He is hoping to use the outcome of this study to explore the neurochemistry of dreaming.
This talk will be accessible to scientists and non-scientists alike.
