Mentoring Experience
The articles below capture some of the many ways I have been involved in mentoring throughout my career, including creating a mentoring programme that matched 400 scientists across the globe.
Failure is an integral part of life and by extension academia. At the same time, failure is often ignored, with potentially negative consequences both for the science and the scientists involved. This article provides several strategies for learning from and dealing with failure instead of ignoring it. Hopefully, our recommendations are widely applicable, while still taking into account individual differences between academics. These simple rules allow academics to further develop their own strategies for failing successfully in academia.
Early career researchers (ECRs) are faced with a range of competing pressures in academia, making selfmanagement key to building a successful career
Many PhD candidates dream of a research career. This constitutes a rewarding journey in the pursuit of new knowledge, often with meaningful contributions to society. It also represents a largely self-directed career with a high workload but also with great flexibility in time management, similar to owning a business.
Mentorship facilitates personal growth through pairing trainees with mentors who can share their expertise. In times of global integration, geographical proximity between mentors and mentees is relevant to a lesser degree. This has led to popularization of online mentoring programs. In this editorial, we introduce the history and architecture of the International Online Mentoring Programme organized by the Student and Postdoc Special Interest Group of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping.
