Staff in the School of Biosciences have been recognised at the University Teaching Awards ceremony<\/a>\"Teaching<\/a>. Dr. Jeremy Rossman\u00a0received the Sciences Faculty Teaching Prize from the\u00a0Vice-Chancellor, Professor Dame Julia Goodfellow,\u00a0for the development of novel approaches to teaching Virology. His work with final year students encourages them to engage with cutting edge literature, placing them at the centre of the discovery process and developing the critical evaluation skills that are essential in scientific research.<\/p>\n

Capping an extraordinary year of achievement, Dr. Peter Klappa was\u00a0presented with\u00a0a special (and surprise!)\u00a0award at the ceremony in recognition of his sustained excellence in teaching. As part of the 50th Anniversary celebrations that are commencing this academic year, Dr. Klappa was presented with the award by Pro-Vice-Chancellor Professor Chris Davies. It follows his award of a National Teaching Fellowship<\/a> in July 2014.<\/p>\n
