OxTalks is Changing
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
Dirty Parenting? Exploring good germs and bad germs in your child’s microbiome | Part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science
How do microbes get into and out of your body? Which bits of your body provide the best habitat for microbes? Are these microbes good for you, bad for you, or completely indifferent to you? How can we encourage the ‘good’ germs and discourage or get rid of the ‘bad’ ones? Create a body map of your child and explore your understanding of how microbes in our internal environment play a key role in our health, in this fascinating, hands-on activity. The activity takes 20-30 minutes to complete.
Suitable for families with children 4-10 (older siblings are welcome to participate).
This is a drop-in activity – just turn up!
This event will be led by Dr Beth Greenhough, Dr Maaret Jokela-Pansini and Professor Jamie Lorimer, School of Geography and the Environment, University of Oxford
