Learning to mentor

Article Abstract:

The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology has developed an informal checklist to offer a guide to mentors and students. Some of the basic steps for mentors included are becoming familiar with available opportunities, reviewing individual development (IDP), and establishing regular review of progress.
