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.

Tracking the sustainability of long-haul flights
Discussing cutting-edge science in an informal setting. No booking, no tickets, no knowledge required.
Tuesday 14th March = Dr Cathie Wells, on “Tracking the sustainability of long-haul flights”.
“We all enjoy travelling to exciting and far-off locations but the current climate crisis is making flights less and less attractive. Is there anything we can do about this? By making the best use of atmospheric data to plot courses that minimise aircraft fuel burn, airlines can not only save money on fuel but also reduce emissions. Dr Wells is a researcher at the Walker Institute, the University of Reading’s interdisciplinary centre for climate change research. Last year, her PhD research won the STEM project of the year at the Times Higher Education Awards.”
