On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
A Panel Discussion of Anne McLaren’s contribution and legacy.
The panel, featuring Prof Dame Kay Davies, Prof Niki Trigoni and Dr Hilary Wynne will discuss the challenges, contributions and achievements of women in science.
Dr Anne McLaren was a leading geneticist and stem-cell scientist. She did her undergraduate and DPhil degrees at Oxford after the Second World War. Working with mice in the 1950s she performed the world’s first IVF birth, and went on to play a leading role in designing the regulatory framework for the safe use of IVF in Britain. Anne went on to be the first ever woman Officer of the Royal Society (as Foreign Secretary and Vice President) and was a founder of the Association of Women in Science and Engineering (AWiSE).
