Mentoring practices predictive of doctoral student outcomes in a biological sciences cohort - preLights
Diversity: the next frontier. These are the challenges of the STEM field. Its mission: to tackle global problems; to seek out new answers and new questions; to boldly go into a future where all voices are heard!
preLightsWhen it comes to planarian stem cells, it's not a one-niche-fits-all situation.
First post as part of #preLightsPeerSupport, led by Girish Kale. Master’s student Rebecca Kern and Girish teamed up to cover a #preprint from the #Planaria1 lab!
