Mentoring

I view providing quality inclusive mentorship as a critical component of teaching and research.

As a mentor, graduate students, postdocs, and trainees can expect me to:

1. Meet regularly to discuss research and career goals

2. Cultivate an inclusive and supporting research and learning environment inside and outside the lab

3. Work directly with students and trainees to develop project ideas that align with interests and career goals

4. Connect trainees with professional development resources and opportunities to present research

5. Help trainees develop skills in fundamental research, data presentation, and science communication

6. Provide opportunities to mentor others

7. Guide trainees in co-authoring peer-reviewed publications

8. Continuously prioritize the physical and mental health and safety of each member of the group

As a mentor, I expect members of the group to:

1. Communicate regularly about needs and concerns

2. Treat each other with respect and kindness

3. Adhere to laboratory safety guidelines and be proactive in risk mitigation

4. Maintain an inclusive and supporting research and learning environment inside and outside the lab

5. Maintain honesty and integrity in research and scholarship
