Mentoring Initiative: PlantGENE Canopies
Mentorship is an important part of career development for scientists. Mentoring can provide new perspectives, strengthen transferrable skills, and expands networking opportunities.
This mentoring initiative uses a “mentoring circle” format and derives its name from forest layers. Similar to how different layers of the forest support growth, we can learn from each other and grow together.
Each Canopies’s group will consist of 5-6 scientists who will meet on the first Monday of every month for 1 hour, from January to June 2025. We will attempt to group scientists by preferences indicated in the application form, but cannot make any guarantees.
If you would like to be part of Canopies, please fill out the application before December 1, 2024.
If your application is accepted, you will be expected to participate in 1-hour Canopies’s meetings starting January 6, 2025.
Thank you to Outreach Team volunteer Lucas Lieber for the name!
