Tagrid Yousef Receives German Teacher Award

2012-12-26

Tagrid Yousef

Since several years Tagrid is giving the Neurophysiology lecture on behalf of the chair of Biopsychology. Since then our students start with a comprehensive and perfectly presented knowledge about neuronal functions into their studies. Now the outstanding pedagogical skills of Tagrid were awarded by the highest possible institution. A consortium consisting of the German Philological Society and several foundations selected just ten out of 3,500 nominated teachers for this high honor; and Tagrid was one of these few selected ones. The key issue is that teachers can't apply; their former students nominate and vote for them! Tagrid received the award for her fantastic commitment to teaching, her approachability, and her dedication to transmit the full complexity of the content in the best possible way. Tagrid shows up at dawn in the slaughterhouse to snatch a pig brain for her class and she is faced with children from a societal background as remote from academia as you can imagine. But she is standing the ground and delivers her message that science is the key to the future.

Congratulations, Tagrid !!!
