Robert Goldberg named one of 'America's top profs'
Robert Goldberg, a UCLA distinguished professor of molecular, cell and developmental biology, is featured in Newsweek's Guide, "Finding the Right College for You" in an article titled, "In Search of Great Professors." A great professor can “get you excited about a whole new subject, influence which major you choose, and maybe even change your life,” Newsweek says. “America's top profs ... excite and inspire their students” and “break down the wall that too often separates the classroom from the real world.” Goldberg is the first professor Newsweek profiles.
In addition, an undergraduate course taught by Goldberg titled “Genetic Engineering in Medicine, Agriculture and Law” was selected as one of “America's 10 Hottest Classes” by the web site the Daily Beast, founded by former New Yorker editor Tina Brown. Goldberg “has been lauded on many occasions for being one of UCLA’s best teachers,” the publication notes.
