The Scientist Magazine has a really thoughtful article in their current issue about mentoring minority students and researchers. I’m beginning development of a full-fledged mentorship program for the many talented and driven students I meet on the BioBus. Articles like this one have been helpful in shaping my thoughts, and I would greatly appreciate anyone who has other articles, resources, or know people who you think are running really top-notch science mentoring programs, to please send the info my way. Thanks!
Oh, and check out this cool movie of a Daphnia’s Heart Beating that students made recently on the BioBus. We just received a generous donation of a pretty high speed laptop that should make future movies a little less jumpy!
