OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

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.
