OxTalks is Changing
            
                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.

Pneumococcus rolls epigenetic dice with a six phase random switch that controls virulence.
    
	The pneumococcus resides in the human airway as a commensal, and occasionally causes pneumonia or septicaemia. The talk will highlight the recent discovery of a genetic switch that leads to epigenetic changes in gene expression, that might mediate the transition of this bacterium from harmless coloniser to deadly pathogen.
