How can postgraduates, postdocs, and academics at the University of Oxford approach the natural sciences as Christians? What does it mean to respond to a Christian vocation and to honour God in university life?

The Natural and Medical Sciences Stream includes talks on science and Christian faith including a panel of Christian academics on Friday afternoon. This year, the Saturday programme will focus on spin-outs, start-ups and entrepreneurship within the Natural and Medical Sciences.

The Natural Sciences Stream includes all MPLS disciplines and welcomes those in the Medical Sciences. It is one of four disciplinary streams that make up Seeking Wisdom, the spring conference of Developing a Christian Mind. Past attendees are encouraged to come, listen to new talks, and take part in discussion with new attendees.
