Teaching Award to Dr. Andrea Link

16.07.2025

In recognition of her outstanding success in captivating first and second year medical students with innovative and original learning concepts, Dr. Andrea Link receives this year´s teaching award for early career scientists from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität (FAU). Congratulations! Specifically, Andrea devised clever and irresistible strategies to fire students up about the intricacies of the nervous system. Rather than throwing standard textbook contents at a largely irreceptive audience, she passionately seduced students to jump-start their own mental faculties, figuring out by and for themselves the basic scientific principles of how brain and body work. This is the kind of learning that lasts.
