Autism and Minds Wired for Science

Simon Baron-Cohen, Professor of Developmental Psychopathology, Cambridge, and Director of the Autism Research Centre, gives the 2016 Charles Simonyi Lecture on new research into autism.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

Dark Matter, Fine-Tuned

What surprising features of our theories cry out for explanation? Rocky Kolb and Rafael Alves Batista consider features of our theories that look unlikely or unnatural, and what our chances are for building a unified theory that explains them.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

Why Now?

We’re at a particularly interesting time in the evolution of the universe. Rafael Alves Batista and Rocky Kolb chat about the interesting features of our time, and why we should--or should not--expect to be living now.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

Dark Matter Particles

What sort of things could dark matter be, and how would we tell which it is? Rafael Alves Batista and Rocky Kolb review the main candidate dark matter particles, and consider our chances for telling which one is out there.

The Future of Dark Matter

In the third part of their discussion, Celine Boehm and Justin Read mull over what we can learn from dark matter. Will understanding dark matter lead us to a small change in the standard model, or a large one?
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

How Does Dark Matter Act?

In the second part of their discussion, Celine Boehm and Justin Read talk about how dark matter acts, both on large scales, at early times, and in small galaxies much nearer to us.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

How Do We Find Dark Matter?

In the first part of their discussion, Justin Read and Celine Boehm go over our evidence for dark matter and consider the possible particles that could make it up.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

Dark Matter(s) Discussion

Celine Boehm, Rocky Kolb, and Justin Read discuss fine-tuning in dark matter models, how we judge astrophysical parameters to be fine-tuned, how we get evidence for dark matter, supersymmetry, and our prospects for finding the dark matter particle.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

The Level of Fine-Tuning it Takes to Make a Dark Matter Model

Dr. Celine Boehm (Durham) discusses the possible dark matter particles and the constraints--theoretical and experimental--on their parameter space.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

The Decade of the Wimp

Dr. Rocky Kolb (Chicago) discusses the theoretical reasons to expect dark matter to be a Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP), and the prospects for finding one.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

Astrophysical Probes of Dark Matter

Dr. Justin Read (Surrey) explains the astrophysical evidence for dark matter, and our prospects for getting more information about its nature and interaction by looking at nearby dwarf galaxies.

Digital health

Professor Lionel Tarassenko CBE FREng FMedSci (St John’s), Head of the Department of Engineering Science, gives a lecture for the department of Engineering Science Alumni Weekend on September 17th 2016.
IDEAL Collaboration Conference 2016

IDEAL and the FDA

Regulation, Commissioning, HTA and Policy.
Big Questions - with Oxford Sparks

'Light' Part 3 - How does sunlight damage DNA?

Once we've received our genetic make-up from our parents our genomes are stable, right? What causes mutations in our DNA as we live and grow, and how do our cells repair damage?
IDEAL Collaboration Conference 2016

The merits of decision modelling in the IDEAL framework

The case of innovative bilateral DIEP flap surgery.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

New Frontiers in Cosmology

In the fourth part of their discussion, Joe Silk and John Peacock conjecture about future developments in cosmology. What part of cosmology is most likely to be fruitful? This discussion was conducted at Trinity College, Oxford, on May 12, 2016.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

Dark Energy and the Multiverse

In the third part of their discussion, Joe Silk and John Peacock consider approaches to dark energy. Should we accept the multiverse, or wait for a theory of quantum gravity?
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

New Data and New Work

In the second part of their discussion, Joe Silk and John Peacock discuss possible future sources of data and developments in cosmology. They conjecture about the search for dark matter and its impact on astronomy.
The Physics of Fine-Tuning

New Statistics and Prediction

In the first part of their discussion, Joe Silk and John Peacock compare approaches to statistics and how these bear on predictions in cosmology, including Weinberg’s prediction of the cosmological constant.
