2021 Klopsteg Memorial Lecture Award

The American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) announced today that Helen Czerski, University College London, London, England, is the 2021 recipient of the Klopsteg Memorial Lecture Award. This award recognizes educators who have made notable and creative contributions to the teaching of physics.

Helen will be presenting the Award Lecture virtually on July 31st, at the AAPT Summer Meeting.

Regarding her selection to receive the 2021 Klopsteg Award Helen said, “I’m very grateful to the AAPT for recognising my work in this way. It’s always been a mystery to me that physics at school has sometimes had such a bad reputation when it’s all about playing with and understanding the world around us. What could be more fun? Everyone who looks closely at their daily lives will see all sorts of fascinating mechanisms, and it’s always been a joy to help change the way people see their world.”
