Mentoring students at different career stages Inspired by a listener question, Jonathan and Julia talk about mentoring, with specific attention to how it might look different for trainees of different stages (for example, undergraduate vs. graduate students). Important considerations include generalizable "don't call them soft" skills related to time management, organization, and so on. Some strategies include formal onboarding for new lab members, individual development plans, and “professional development” portions of lab meetings. Julia learned the importance of knowing the *why* of something in the context of sweeping the floor.
