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.
Bio:
Dr. Thomas Sanger is an associate professor at Loyola University Chicago. His lab uses a combination of field, quantitative, and molecular tools to understand morphological diversity of vertebrates. Dr. Sanger has been a leader in field of reptile embryology and development.
Abstract:
The vertebrate skull has evolved remarkable diversity in size, shape, and form. Herein, I will show you how emerging reptilian models of developmental biology are adding new insights into our understanding of craniofacial diversity. I will also show you how global warming mediated thermal stress is disrupting normal embryonic development of the reptilian brain and face.
