For Step 2, The mentee survey collects in-depth info about the type of mentorship being seeked. We want to prioritize the need of the mentees. At the end of the survey, the mentees will be able to indicate their preferred mentors.

Frank Macabenta and Jonathan Andrews will match the mentees to the most suited mentors before #Dros25
A similar program has been successfully running in the #worm community and a lot of our program structure/surveys and ideas were adapted from those. We are very grateful to the worm program chairs and #WormBase members for supporting us in our endeavors.
Keep an eye out for emails from the GSA next week for more details. Meanwhile urging everyone in the #genetics #community to kindly please share this with trainees/faculty who will benefit from the program.
Thanks to @iamshef.bsky.social for the original post we're propagating here.
