"As a mentee, try to talk to your mentor(s) openly. Be transparent about what you like and you don't like. As a mentor, try to be kind and receptive about a mentees' needs"

Letícia explains how mentors throughout her career have helped her to move to the career path she wanted.

[CompChemURG @CompChemURG]

Up next we have @LetciaMariaPeq1, a first year PhD student at @CarnegieMellon working in the field of Quantum Chemistry.

Letícia will talk about mentorship and cultural differences in their PhD journey.

[CompChemURG @CompChemURG]

"As a mentor, you should always try to empathise with trainees' backgrounds, bringing references that relate with their experiences"

[CompChemURG @CompChemURG]

Maricris closes with highlighting the importance of celebrating growth and progress, being grateful, and treating people as you would like to be treated.

With that, we're on to our next speaker!

[CompChemURG @CompChemURG]

Next up we have Maricris Mayes, who will describe the importance of mentoring and how it has influenced their career so far.

[CompChemURG @CompChemURG]

"Each stage is a new game, with new rules, new questions, and new challenges to navigate"

Mentorship needs to occur at every stage of a career, Maricris highlights the importance of cultivating a network of mentors and sharing experiences.
