Based on the submitted proposals, a committee formed by the University of Tartu Student Union has chosen the recipients of the best teaching staff awards of 2021. At the Faculty of Science and Technology, the teaching staff of the year award was given to Ene Kook, who is Lecturer of Botany of the Institute of Ecology and Earth Sciences and also belongs to our workgroup. Ene teaches field courses about Estonian plants. According to students, she stands out for her exceptional wealth of knowledge, helpfulness and a clear mission to spark interest even in students who hate plants. Congratulations, Ene!
