to be a Good
Mentor/Mentee"(Sponsored
by Women in APS and ASPET)
Presented
at Experimental Biology 2002, New Orleans, LA
Vignettes
The
following eight vignettes have been developed in an attempt to describe some
crucial issues that mentees and mentors may face during their careers. Although
actual events have inspired some of these vignettes many of the specific details
as well as names and places have been changed.
If, as you read these vignettes,
you see yourself, do not assume that you were the person the writer was thinking
about as they wrote these fabricated stories. Rather, it shows that the
presenters and committee members have succeeded in drawing attention to real
issues that face us today. Another thing to keep in mind as you read these
vignettes is that there is no single correct answer to any questions posed. The
hope is that by working together, a mentee-mentor pair can reach an appropriate
solution.
