The Vice-Chancellor’s Fire and Wire podcast series highlights University communities and brings interesting Oxford stories to you.
In her Admission speech Professor Tracey said:
'The Hebbian principle in neuroscience describes beneficial neuronal behaviour in the brain: if you fire together, you wire together. My goal is to fire and wire this great University more closely with our city, this nation and the globe, working generously with the other great British universities with whom we share our higher education ecosystem.'
Building on her goal to ‘fire and wire’ the University, this series explores Oxford’s people and stories.
