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
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?
