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.
I was trained as a geneticist, to recognise questions on two scales: how do genomes, in cells, build organisms? And how do organisms, in evolving populations, select their genomes? The biological clock is a fascinating example, as its 24-hour rhythms adjust the daily lives of plants (and humans). Understanding how the clockwork helps to build an Arabidopsis plant has linked our plant systems biology to crop science and evolutionary adaptation. Life scientists might answer both questions together, in nature, if that example is general. As mid-century approaches, should we?
