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
In 1907, Henri Poincaré took up his pen in a passionate defence of the motto “science for its own sake’‘, in response to Tolstoy’s contention that science de facto depends on ethical decisions. This epic controversy, which pitted a scientific giant against a towering writer, set the tone for subsequent discussions on ethics and science.
After reading mathematics in Cambridge, Dr. Ray was an academic mathematician, notably in France, where she lives. She is presently a visiting scholar in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, at the university of Cambridge. Her forthcoming book, ‘On Science: Concepts, Cultures and Limits’, is to be published by Routledge next year.
