Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
