OxTalks is Changing
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.
BDI Inaugural Lecture: The Nature of Nurture
Using logical reasoning, mathematical modelling, and empirical data,
we demonstrate that there is a genetic component to nurture. Recognising
this effect will not only affect how we think about the question of Nature versus Nurture,
there are implications for many areas of quantitative genetics. Topics touched on
Include the interpretation of GWAS results, parent-of-origin effects, pleiotropy, nurture from siblings, heritability, and selection and evolution.
