Mentoring: building relationships that benefit academic careers

By Eliza Anyangwe. Though important to finding and keeping a job, not enough academics prioritise mentoring. Join us on Friday 9 August to explore how to foster networks for peer-to-peer support.
The truth of scientific discovery is this: though the work may be done by an exceptional team, the world only gets to know about one exceptional individual. It would seem that in a world of citations, publications and conference presentations, every academic needs to know one thing: that career progression is dependent on oneself. But the reality, of course, is that no man is an island and scientists, and indeed all researchers, are dependent on others - and at no other time is that more obvious that at the start of one's career.
