Talk Overview

Are you reluctant to talk to your mentor about your research? As a trainee in science, one of the most important areas on which to get feedback is your research and research plan. But it can be intimidating or anxiety-producing to talk to your mentor about your science. Whether it’s because you feel lost and unsure of what you are doing, your experiments aren’t going well, or you think your mentor isn’t interested or doesn’t have time for you, the process of talking to your mentor about your research can seem very daunting. Not to worry. In this live Q&A, our expert panelists will address the common challenges that trainees face when talking to their mentors about their science, and how to overcome them. Bring your questions and find out how to make this conversation with your mentor as productive as possible.
