Just as science has evolved, so must our views & approaches to mentoring. To compete, be inclusive, & stop the leaky pipeline that is plaguing science, we must take a more scientific approach to #mentoring. #NationalMentoringDay ⁦@ISSUESinST⁩ issues.org/innovation-in-men…
Innovation in Mentorship

Innovation in Mentorship

Despite its critical importance, mentoring in scientific and technical fields is neither rewarded nor incentivized. How can this be changed?

My team and I just submitted a MIRA R35 and R01 in the last 2 weeks. I'm just so thankful for their support and my wife's support (who held down our 6 kids to give me time to write 😌). For the sake of #equity, I'd like to share some advice that helped me along the way (🧵):

"Mentorship is central to the research ecosystem, & it must be treated as such. Mentorship takes skill, time, effort, resources, & dedicated individuals who should be adequately trained, recognized, & valued." @BerondaM @fatu_sn @RiaDahlberg @ISSUESinST ow.ly/TopO50L2hQM
Academic Mentorship Needs a More Scientific Approach

Academic Mentorship Needs a More Scientific Approach

Academic science must shift toward prioritizing training and mentoring as much as it does the conduct of research.
