Clinical Neuroscience Dr Tony Pullen Lecturer of the Year Award

For the third year the Education Unit asked all MSc Clinical Neuroscience students to vote for their lecturer of the year, in our attempt to recognise and reward our outstanding lecturers.


I am pleased to announce that Dr Katerina Fotopoulou has been awarded the Dr Tony Pullen Lecturer of the Year Award. Students cited Dr Fotopoulou for a very interactive and enjoyable lecture.


Dr Fotopoulou is the third recipient of the Dr Tony Pullen Lecturer of the Year Award (the award is so named in recognition for the dedication that Dr Pullen showed during his time at Queen Square and in particular for his tireless support of teaching and pastoral care for students enrolled on the MSc in Clinical Neuroscience). 


Second place goes to Dr Ed Wild, with third place being shared between Professor Nick Fox and Professor John Rothwell.


Honourable mentions to Prof Adolfo Bronstein, Professor Nick Wood, Dr Mark Edwards, Dr Helene Plun-Favreau, Prof Jack Price, Dr Fion Bremner, Prof James Fawcett, Prof Joanna Zakrzewska, Dr Joern Diedrichsen, Dr Jonathan Rohrer, Prof Mary Reilly, Prof Tom Warner, Dr Steve Kennerley, Dr Patrick Lewis and Prof Matthew Walker who all polled votes.
