Sarah Demers (Assistant Professor of Physics) has been selected as a 2012 recipient of the Poorvu Family Award for Interdisciplinary Teaching. This honor recognizes your talent for opening doors to students who are not scientists, through your teaching, your work on the Interdisciplinary Arts and Science Research Group, and your “field trips” to the Large Hadron Collider, in Geneva. Chair of the Department of Physics C. Megan Urry says it best in her nominating letter when she writes, “Sarah embodies the best of Yale undergraduate teaching…she is enthusiastic, dedicated, broadly knowledgeable, comfortable using the left and right sides of her brain (simultaneously!), and effective at reaching Yale students through an imaginative curriculum.”
