The Scholarly Kitchen Podcast

The Society for Scholarly Publishing's (SSP's) Career Development Committee has launched a podcast series for early career publishing professionals. Co-hosted by Meredith Adinolfi (Cell Press) and Sara Grimme (Digital Science), the podcast series offers advice and discussion on how early career publishing professionals can add to their skill sets, develop networks, and take advantage of opportunities. This episode covers the topic of mentorship and includes two interviews with Katy Alexander (Global Director of Marketing and Communications at Digital Science) and Jennifer Landsberg (Product Manager at Cell Press), who speak about their experiences as a mentor and mentee, respectively. The hosts also discuss some results from a survey that was sent out to the community. The survey questions included 'What advice would you have given your younger self?' and 'What was your worst career mistake?'
