OxTalks is Changing
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
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.
