The FAARM Project legislative agenda to start fixing the graduate student mental health crisis: https://t.co/UXI8CnAxvh

[Paul Tonko @RepPaulTonko]

Our researchers spur innovation and scientific discovery. But burnout, poor mentoring & mental illness burden far too many.

My latest bill addresses this issue, giving researchers the support they need while maintaining our nation’s scientific prowess.

AWIS supports the Improving #Mentorship in #STEM Higher Education Act. CEO Meredith Gibson says, “[This bill] provides a strong framework and resources for institutions of higher education to enhance their mentoring programs.” https://t.co/PbXPv76Kg4 @RepMcClellan @RepPaulTonko

[Jen Heemstra @jenheemstra]

Great mentoring doesn’t have to be overly complicated, but it also doesn’t happen automatically.

Think about small actions you can take to learn a mentoring skill or adopt a new policy or practice with those you mentor.

Great mentoring can result from a series of small steps.
