An uncompromising educator: YUDA YÜRÜM

Yuda Yürüm: “What makes a university professor?  He is supposed to have genuine interest in his courses and students, strive to educate them and train them in the best way possible.  What separates scientist from teacher is his scientific work.  A good scientist must be properly involved in scientific studies and share his work with the world.  You are not supposed to brood over scientific facts.  He must have integrity and do everything possible to make sure that the knowledge he generates is passed on to the next generation.”
