OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

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!
