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.

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.
