Fall 2019 RCR Forum Mapping your Mentoring Network: Identifying and Developing the Mentorship You Need

In an ideal world, your boss/PI would also be your mentor. However, that doesn't always happen - and even if it does, you may need more than one mentor to get to where you want to go. In this workshop, we will discuss how to find your mentor(s), how to ask them for guidance, and what to do to keep your relationship strong.
