Episode Synopsis
Support our mission through our fundraiser at GoFundMe! We need your support as we are in the process of becoming a nonprofit and increasing our reach to serve women and underprivileged populations in their STEM career journeys! If you don't want to participate in the fundraiser, you can always support WISEcast here --> PayPal. Also don't forget to check out our newest offering - The Wisest Children on YouTube! These young scientists are making science accessible and fun for anyone to try at home through some "kitchen science" activities.
In this episode, we explore the role of mentors and FEMtors (aka female mentors) in one's professional trajectory. It's important to properly seek out these relationships and continue to nurture them. What's the ideal number of mentors? What differing advice do you receive if a mentor is female vs. male, and does that actually matter? We discuss all this and more with Dr. Stephanie Ryan.
