The teacher of the year is multimedia whiz microbiologist Jack Wang from Uni Queensland

“Embracing life-long learning is something I instil in all my students. My teaching practise embraces technology and much like microbiology, is constantly evolving and adapting. I am always learning new skills in on-line communication and multi-media production and am focused on reaching as many students as I can,” he says.
