In 2017, I published an article on the Nature of Research journal that described my mentor program at Stanford University, which was created by Professor Thomas Frey and his team with the support of the
Hewlett Foundation. At this time, there were only two people
on staff. This would change later, however. In addition to teaching classes,
faculty members, the MIT Undergraduate Mentoring Program trained students. Over
the next three years, I would work closely with them and mentor their graduate
students. My first year as a professor, I led a group of six graduate students
to receive funding from the FABRIX Seed Grant program. Our goal was to improve
their ability to design effective scientific research projects. A seed fund
means you give early stage scientists a small amount of money, as a down
payment, with no expectation of additional funding. For example, $50 could be
used to buy one-on-one coaching or mentoring sessions, while a larger sum (say
$500) could help develop a prototype or research proposal. The aim was to help
these young researchers become independent researchers with skills that are
hard to find in graduate school. There were so many outstanding students who
were in trouble in grad school, they did not have good mentors before, and now
they wanted much better tools and guidance. Some of the most brilliant minds
are still doing great things today, despite a lack of mentoring. My hope is
that the present generation will carry on the legacy of our predecessors. As
such, we must do more than just teach and train, we should create pathways to
success. The key is being able to identify the talent and skill sets that may
be overlooked in current institutions but are essential to fostering
innovation. Many young people today are seeking opportunities to collaborate
with people who have already made valuable contributions to science. Such
experiences can foster important connections, collaboration, and creativity.
They can also bring new ideas and insights to the table, helping us to move the
world forward through research. Thus, programs like those described herein can
provide even greater impact than simply giving knowledge, expertise, or
training. These programs can also help prepare young people to excel in STEM
fields. This is why all funds supporting such efforts should be funded by
public funds. By creating stronger relationships between industry and academia,
we can expand access to education and resources that allow everyone to pursue
higher quality research. As the authors state, it is crucial to understand the
needs of young people. It is possible that some individuals are less likely to
get mentoring opportunities as part of the university system, or because of
other reasons. But even if they are not, there are other ways to help them
succeed. While most universities offer paid internships or summer jobs, we at
the FABRIX have developed a set of shorter term internships where interns are
mentored. Internships are highly successful because they provide hands-on
experience and allow graduates to build their professional network. Here are
four examples of short program types that may be helpful to people looking to
improve their career prospects: Junior College Teaching Assistant - JCTA,
