We are very pleased to announce that on the 1st December, a group of researchers from the Wellcome-funded Life of Breath project (University of Bristol/Durham University) will be coming to Oxford to offer a workshop around the topic of 'Breath, Breathing, and Being'. The workshop will consist of a panel of presentations as well as breakout discussion groups. A full, finalised programme will be circulated shortly, but please see the details below for an outline of the day's events.
