"One email at a time, one informational interview after another, I became comfortable, confident, and strategic in building my network of mentors." One mentor isn’t enough. On #NationalMentoringDay, read this #ScienceWorkingLife essay from 2021 to learn how Erika Moore built

We can’t always leave a toxic situation, but when we do, it is not running away or quitting. It is intentionally considering the options and choosing something better for yourself.

Mentors can’t achieve your goals for you, but they can: -help you focus on what you want to do -inspire you to believe in what you are capable of doing -offer practical supports to equip you for success And we can each do these things for someone else.

Sometimes I hear people say that you have to be extroverted or charismatic to be a good leader. I disagree. Think about the leaders you respect. There’s a good chance there are some quiet or introverted people on that list. There are many different ways to be a great leader.

400 people w/ doctorates read the same research abstract where the lead authors name was either male or female. Participants felt the discovery in the abstract was more important when the author was male & spent more time reading it (114s male; 98s female).forbes.com/sites/kimelses…

Leaders likely don’t have all of the answers or solutions right now, but we can empower those around us to navigate uncertainty so that we can collectively stand up for our rights and shared values. My op-ed today in Inside Higher Ed offers some ideas for how we can do this:

This #AAPIHM, I want to give a shout out to dedicated colleagues who do so much to mentor, teach, lead and inspire deeper conversations. Hope comes not only from knowledge, but from a sense of shared belonging 🌱

Anyone who wants to call scientific research “wasteful spending” should have to get past Reviewer 2. Seriously, I wish people knew how hard we work for far less $ than could be made in industry, all because we care about helping society and mentoring the next generation.

I’ve been meaning to try out posting professional development advice via reels. Here’s my take on leaders not needing to always have the answers. Let me know what you think of this format!
