A quick opening note: Our last episode for this season will be an open Q&A. Send us your questions, ideas, puzzles and dilemmas by September 6. We’ll fit in as many as we can for the September 8 episode!
The whole upper rungs of mentoring, on the scicomm career ladder, are missing.
Is it a question of relationships? Resources? Respect?
Or is it that beyond-beginners need different kinds of mentoring and our profession just isn’t structured to provide it?
Either way, where do mid-career and advanced scicommers look for mentors?
This week, we take on those questions, plus:
- When mentoring is needed
- Alternatives if you don’t want mentors
- How mentors “happen”
Dig in for yourself: What kind of mentorship do you feel you need, if any? What kind of mentorship would you most like to offer right now?
Thanks for listening! Pass us a note…we sit right behind you, at https://www.twitter.com/meteorscicomm.
