What does mentorship really mean for early-career scientists?🌎 “You can stand on the shoulders of giants and see far off.” ✨ At the Next-Gen Women’s Biomedical Research Advancement Project (WRAP 2.0), @DrosophilaRTC, supported by @BiochemSoc, we unpacked how learning from those ahead of you can fast-track your career and the characteristics of a good mentor. Professor Olufunke Fayehun (@FayehunFunke) provided a detailed breakdown for participants during her session and answered their questions. 🎥 Catch highlights in the video below. What are your biggest takeaways or thoughts on mentorship in biomedical research? Share with us in the comments below👇🏽
