OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all 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 as soon as possible.

Theochemistry: Chemical Mediators of the Unknown
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.
