Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
“The Beating Heart is a cultural detective trail to try to understand how and why we have come to see the heart as we do.” Professor Robin Choudhury
Join cardiologist and author Professor Robin Choudhury in conversation with Dr Silke Ackermann, Director of the History of Science Museum to explore the cultural clues in Robin’s recent book, The Beating Heart: The Art & Science of Our Most Vital Organ.
Robin and Silke will uncover the saints, artists, lovers, scholars, and scientists, who unwittingly influenced each other in building an understanding of the beating heart.
They will discuss some of the beautiful heart images revealed in The Beating Heart that illuminate the age-old dance between art, religion, philosophy and ‘scientific’ thinking.
Join us in our atmospheric Basement Gallery for a stimulating fireside chat.
