Academy to expand mentoring support

The Academy of Medical Sciences has announced that participation in its acclaimed mentoring scheme will be expanded to basic scientists and scientists working in industry through new agreements with the Medical Research Council (MRC) and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK).

The mentoring scheme helps researchers tackle the many challenges faced when developing an independent research career, offering guidance on topics as diverse as starting up a research group, balancing work and family commitments and developing a research niche. 

Mentees are paired with Academy Fellows who are well-placed to help them navigate obstacles and build their confidence in the workplace.
