ITW: Mentoring in the Lab Environment (2 parts - 10/23 & 10/30)

Are you a researcher in a lab and interested in mentoring others? Are you working closely with students, technicians, or volunteers in the lab and want to make sure you set yourself up for success as a new mentor? In this 2-part Intermediate Teaching Workshop (ITW), you will learn about productive ways to establish clear mentor-mentee expectations in the lab, supporting your mentee’s growth and career development, and facilitating your mentee’s independence. Using case studies, group discussions, and reflective practices, we will unpack power dynamics in the lab and academia more broadly that impact researchers at all levels and across different work environments, be it at the lab bench, clinic, in the field, or remotely on the computer (we see you too, modelers and programmers). Join us to discover the practices and tools you can use in your mentorship to uplift those who are just getting started in their research careers. Contact Reed Mszar (reed.mszar@yale.edu) and Leah Harmon (leah.harmon@yale.edu) with any questions.
