Episode Synopsis

A quick opening note: Our last episode for this season will be an open Q&A. Send us your questions, ideas, puzzles and dilemmas by September 6. We’ll fit in as many as we can for the September 8 episode! The whole upper rungs of mentoring, on the scicomm career ladder, are missing. Is it a question of relationships? Resources? Respect? Or is it that beyond-beginners need different kinds of mentoring and our profession just isn’t structured to provide it? Either way, where do mid-career and advanced scicommers look for mentors? This week, we take on those questions, plus: When mentoring is needed Alternatives if you don’t want mentors How mentors “happen” Dig in for yourself: What kind of mentorship do you feel you need, if any? What kind of mentorship would you most like to offer right now? Thanks for listening! Pass us a note…we sit right behind you, at  https://www.twitter.com/meteorscicomm.
