Emory University Professor Jen Heemstra joined us for a conversation about strategies for success as graduate student mentors. We also chatted about ideas for faculty development and ways we can foster strong mentors.

A few things we talked about:

  • Fear of failure, why we as mentors should bring the same level of curiosity to our mentoring as we do to our science.
  • Individualized development plans for students that have nothing to do with their research and everything to do with their career goals.
  • Avoidable vs. unavoidable struggles and how to encourage resiliency in our teams.
  • Structure, structure, structure. Did we mention, structure?

Jen and Steph bonded over sharing our personal writing journey with our students (and Jen's stoked to try writing sprints with her group!) Jen’s writing a book, so look for that in 2023! Steph published a fiction novel in 2021. Steph’s author world is at www.slhansenbooks.com
