OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future 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 on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

A researcher leaves behind the office politics of academia to travel to the frozen south. She has been summoned by a mysterious research group probing the furthest limits of what makes us human. On Deception Island, where the nights are darkless, terrifying new technology is being used to grapple with old challenges. It is 200 years after Frankenstein, the ice is thawing, and science is still dancing with the problem of death.
Two-Body Problem is a lecture that dissipates into a fever dream, an immersive play that sounds a warning. As a pragmatic scientific mind encounters the strangest frontiers of its own discipline, real contemporary research is grounded in a grisly past and looks queasily but steadily to the future.
