OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk

Tomi Akingbade is a PhD student at the University of Cambridge investigating inflammation in neurodegenerative diseases. Specifically, Tomi is investigating how Amyloid-beta 42 (Aβ42) aggregates cause inflammatory responses in Alzheimer’s Disease and how the prepararation of synthetic Aβ42 aggregates can be used as stimulants in in vitro inflammatory studies. Tomi is also passionate about representation within academia, this led her to create the Black Women in Science (BWiS) Network. The Network started as a social media account, became a website and today, the BWiS Network is a global networking platform that works towards giving Black women the necessary platforms and opportunities to further their careers and interests in Science fields.
