The professional development path in science is long and full of obstacles, mainly for women and minorities. Having good mentors to advise us and help to fully develop our skills is essential throughout our whole career. The main goal of this seminar is to highlight the importance of having a good mentoring team and ways to form your own team. Mentoring teams are composed of several mentors of different backgrounds to work on different aspects, such as leadership, public speaking, management, conflict solving. Ruth will also talk about different mentoring models, which are not the traditional mentoring received by your supervisor. Mentoring could come from collaborators, professionals of other fields, peers or even family. In a seminar Ruth will guide us through this fascinating topic and we will discuss about why and how mentoring is important for women and minorities.
