– It was with great joy and some surprise that I accepted this award, especially as both the nomination and the voting depended solely on students. According to the information provided by the publisher Elsevier, more than 1,000 people from academic centres all over the world entered this year’s edition. I am all the more pleased to have won this award in such a strong field. Thank you very much to everyone who voted for me and I promise to strive to maintain the same high level of teaching and empathy for the next generation of students – said Spodnik, Ph.D.
