Talks are given by Darwin students, Fellows and associate members and are intended for a general audience. Talks take place on Thursdays in the Richard King room (opposite the entrance to the servery). Everyone is welcome, whatever your discipline.

Pick up your food at the servery and join us in the Richard King room! The talk starts at 1:10 and lasts for about 20-25 minutes and is followed by questions over coffee. We adjourn at 2pm at the latest.

It may be possible to arrange an online stream if this is needed for accessibility reasons – please contact the organiser to arrange this, and/or if you have any other accessibility questions.
