Hello all, this is a brief reminder to sign up as a mentor for the Virtual Lab Meeting Training Program of the Evolving Seas RCN by Sept 15.

Through this program the RCN seeks to provide training to students at the undergraduate or graduate level (“mentees”) by participating in lab meetings of a research group that shares their interests. The mentee will participate by attending lab meetings during 2021-2022. A designated “mentor” from the research group will dedicate portions of two lab meetings to the mentee’s professional development. 

The format for lab meetings dedicated to the mentee’s professional development is flexible, but could take the form of review of graduate school or grant application statements, research presentations, paper discussions, etc. Upon completing the program (10 lab meetings with portions of 2 lab meetings dedicated to mentee’s professional development) before May 2022, approved applicants will receive a $500 stipend (see information on eligibility in the website).

If you are a faculty, postdoc, or research scientist, please sign up to be a host-mentor by Sept 15 with this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RB4YMC8PJ7lRNM2N_LOJBywNIDJ-P3dSz1y0IE836p0

A survey from last year indicated that this program takes less than 3 extra hours of a mentor’s time (outside lab meetings) over the course of an academic year, while providing important professional development for the mentee.
