Virtual Event

The Oxford Global Health and Care Systems Society are hosting a discussion-based workshop with the aim of gathering participants’ unique lived experiences on how COVID-19 has impacted on the future of global health.

Participants will engage with this overarching question in break-out rooms for a collaborative and iterative discussion process featuring four sub-topics that include:

  • international biomedical collaboration in clinical research;
  • health systems recovery and strengthening;
  • health data and disease surveillance;
  • and COVID-19 as a human crisis, where we will explore the politicization and racialization of the pandemic (among other sociocultural aspects of the coronavirus).

There will then be an opportunity to return as a larger group to share and further build upon a plethora of valuable opinions and perspectives that will surely have emerged from the more intimate discussion sessions, and to reach some sort of a co-created, forward-thinking conclusion – or to forego a conclusion altogether, and co-create further questions instead.

The Radcliffe Observatory has stood for over 250 years.

But heritage requires care and the building now needs restoration to preserve it for future generations.

🦖🦴 Major archaeological discovery at the Radcliffe Observatory 🦖🦴

What began as routine landscaping work on the front lawn has taken a rather unexpected turn…

Earlier this week, contractors uncovered what appear to be dinosaur bones.

Initial (very enthusiastic) assessments suggest the remains could belong to a previously unknown species, tentatively named Green Templetonosaurus.

We’ll share further updates as soon as we know more… 🦖
When the researcher becomes the patient.

In this thought-provoking reflection for The Times Magazine, Research Fellow Karl Smith Byrne shares what tackling cancer has taught him both in his work and in his own life.

Diagnosed with rectal cancer at just 27, Karl brings a rare dual perspective to his field, combining research with lived experience to advocate for greater focus on prevention and more patient-centred science.

A compelling insight into resilience and the future of cancer research.
