REFLECT: Mentoring support

The challenges we faced during the peak of the pandemic have further demonstrated how mentoring can be an incredibly powerful tool to help you progress in your career at any time, whether you are the mentee working with an independent mentor, or the mentor who is supporting another researcher.
 

In a period of change and uncertainty, it is even more important to tap into your support network. We have brought together some personal stories, encouraging you to reach out to your own mentees and mentors, and some resources to help you make the most of this relationship, be it virtually or in person.
