Our flagship seminar series (Departmental Seminars) normally happen on a Friday at 2pm, while the annual Heatley Lecture is our most prestigious lecture, in honour of the unsung hero of penicillin, Norman Heatley. Upcoming seminars open to other University of Oxford members are listed below. We also host a progress seminar series for students and postdocs to present work in progress that is internal to the Dunn School.
