| | | | Mentorship of a less experienced researcher is a pivotal responsibility of all scientists. This partnership establishes independent researchers, aiding with the professional evolution of the mentee. Success in research, however, does not always equate to good mentorship. These relationships often exist on a spectrum, ranging from the overly friendly mentor that creates boundary issues, to the mentor hyper-focused on their own work, offering vague direction to their dependent. Problems easily coalesce. | | | | Read More | | |
