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

Lisa Melton, Senior News Editor with Nature Biotechnology Dr Ben Davies, Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics Dr Andy Greenfield, Nuffield Council, Genome Editing Working Group Paul McAuley, UK science fiction author and former botanist Elizabeth Bohm, Senior Policy Advisor with the Royal Society
