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
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.
