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
Join us for our second talk with the Department of Biology, University of Oxford for Biology Week 2024.
In this online talk, Lindsay Turnbull – Professor of Plant Ecology at the University of Oxford – will explain why plants are the greatest traders on planet Earth. They stole photosynthesis – arguably the greatest invention of all time – and then took control of the international sugar market. Using this monopoly, they drove hard bargains with animals, fungi, and even bacteria, forming essential partnerships that support all life on Earth today.
There will be a Q&A session at the end so do submit questions during the talk.
This event is free to attend and advanced registration is essential. Group school bookings are welcomed – teachers just need to register for the event.
