It's all about who you know, they
say, and success in the life sciences
is no exception. This section covers
networking, mentorship and other
resources for people hoping to enter
the sciences or those already in the
field and seeking to move ahead.
We offer tips on finding a mentor –
and being one, some key do's and
don'ts for networking, a listing of
fellowships, grants and organizations of
interest to people from underrepresented
groups, and much more. We close with
a roundtable featuring four leading life
scientists, two from industry and two
from academia, who discuss their
views on diversity, where progress has
been made and where gaps remain,
and offer some words of wisdom to
young people starting out in the field. | |
