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.
About half of the deaths in low income countries are not registered or medically certified for causes. To fill these gaps in evidence, nationwide mortality studies using verbal autopsies in a random sample of homes have been adopted with the Million Death Study in India, the Healthy Sierra Leone (HEAL-SL) study and elsewhere. Mortality data are informative to understand infectious disease epidemiology. Professor Prabhat Jha will illustrate the relevance of mortality data using examples of HIV in India, Malaria in India and Africa, and SARS-CoV-2 worldwide. He will also present OpenMortality.org, where some of the key data are freely available.
