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
We invite students of all levels (undergraduate, masters, and PhD) across the humanities, life sciences, and digital scholarship to provide feedback on a new website designed to connect scientific archives with historical context.
BLOOM brings together the worlds of science, history, and digital research to explore and expand the use of biological collections across disciplines. Our new website reconstructs the Du Bois Herbarium – a collection of 14,000 plant specimens held in the University – allowing users to explore its contents and connections across time, people, and geography.
Your insights will directly shape the next phase of BLOOM’s design and help us build a tool that truly supports interdisciplinary research. Participants will get an early look at the site and share their thoughts on what works (and what doesn’t!)
Cake and coffee will be served!
