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
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.
