Marsquakes

Series
Musical Abstracts

A song about the quest to hear Marsquakes based on research by Dr Neil Bowles at the University of Oxford
When the ground shakes on Earth we call them earthquakes. Even weak ones can be detected by 'seismometers' and from listening carefully to them we can learn a lot about the make up of the planet - that it has a solid core, molten mantle under a thin crust. But can we learn anything from listening out for quakes on Mars? In May 2018 the InSight lander will be launched and head to Mars, landing in November 2018. This song looks at the science behind the mission. This song was written by Jonny Berliner in collaboration with Dr Neil Bowles who is based at the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford.

This song was written by Jonny Berliner in collaboration with Prof. Abigail Williams in the English Faculty at the University of Oxford.

A song about how Victorians saw the conversation between the gut and mood, based on research by Dr Emilie Taylor-Brown at the University of Oxford
We often use language to describe emotions with words related to food, and you often hear people linking mood with food, but getting hangry is far from a modern thing; Victorians had already made these connections. This song explores this gut:brain conversation from the perspective of Victorian literature. This song was written by Jonny Berliner in collaboration with Dr Emilie Taylor-Brown who works in the English Faculty at the University of Oxford, as part of the 'Diseases of Modern Life' project.

A song about mapping the internet and how it links to our physical world, based on research by Prof Mark Graham at the University of Oxford.
This is a song about mapping the internet. The internet reflects our physical world, but much of what we see is controlled by internet companies, and isn't always accurate. So what can we do about it to make the internet more equal and representative? This song was written by Jonny Berliner in collaboration with Prof. Mark Graham who works at the Oxford Internet Institute at the University of Oxford as part of the Musical Abstracts project as part of the Curiosity Carnival.

Critical Appraisal and EBM in the Real World

Series
Evidence-Based Health Care
Embed
The overwhelming volume of evidence and its lack of relevance to patient care and decisions means health professionals require skills to sift evidence more efficiently: discarding what doesn't make a difference to focus on evidence that matters for health

This talk will present a simple effective appraisal system based on two first steps to rapidly appraise and sift the evidence for its relevance and application to actual patient care, prior to assessing its validity.
Professor Carl Heneghan is Director of CEBM, and an NHS Urgent Care GP, and has been interested for over twenty years in how we can use evidence in real world practice.
This talk is being held as part of the Practice of Evidence-Based Health Care module which is part of the MSc in Evidence-Based Health Care and the MSc in EBHC Systematic Reviews.
