Virtual Get-together – May 2020

Join us for our first virtual get-together. Register here!

Hopefully you have all been good and staying at home. The Oxford10 Committee has been too. But we’ve been working hard to help the Oxford10 community stay connected in these weird and (admittedly not so) wonderful circumstances.

Our first event is a light get-together for everyone to just catch up and find out how everyone is coping (or not). We are also looking to organise more events, including an online pub quiz and movie night, and would very much like to crowdsource! Bring your ideas, tell us what you’d like to have – and if lockdown ends early #hallelujah, we can always organise them in person!

Register here!

Reach for the Stars – from your living room!

Join BBC’s Sky At Night presenter Chris Lintott, Professor of Astrophysics, and lead of the Zooniverse.org project at Oxford’s Department of Physics, for a ‘live’ ramble around the night sky.

Date: Sunday 26 April

Time: 8.30-9.30pm BST
