Mentoring Scientists

Young people reminded me tonight that we can all learn more about how to to seek, receive, and offer good mentorship. This is hard for scientists.

Advice from Successful People and me

LifeSci NYC held an inspiring STEM Career Panel tonight at the new Flatiron Health office in SoHo. I chatted with LifeSci student interns and heard how some felt inner conflict between the opportunity to launch straight into an exciting tech career vs. slowing down for grad school. It was a privilege to be flanked on stage by a tech star, pharma business leader, and entrepreneurs in health while we shared our personal experiences about career development.

We performed a Wilcoxon signed-rank test on the pre–post mentorship program survey data and demonstrated increases in self-reported knowledge, professional skills, and interest in future HIV vaccine research (AJPH 2014).
