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
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).
